I have a similar problem that hasn't been resolved yet ... intel 3945 no
longer talking to my Linksys WRT54GX2 after updating from ubuntu 7.10 to
ubuntu 8.04. 

I finally got around to looking at the kismet wireless logs from the
last installfest at That Technical Bookstore that Gus recorded while I
tried to connect. 

It seems to be a very obscure incompatibility:
The wireless access point seems to fuss about the ordering of the
available frequencies, and the latest driver sends the frequencies out
of order:

intel3945 to cisco: 
supported rates: 6 9 12 18 24 36 48 54
extended supported rates: 1 2 5.5 11

cisco to intel3945:
denied due to requesting station not supporting all of the datarates in
the BSSBasicServiceSet Parameter (0x0012)
supported rates: 1(B) 2(B) 5.5(B) 11(B)
extended supported rates: 6(B) 9 12(B) 18 24(B) 36 48 54

=> connection unsuccessful


intelGus to cisco:
supported rates: 1(B) 2(B) 5.5(B) 11(B) 6(B) 9 12(B) 18
extended supported rates: 24(B) 36 48 54

cisco to intelGus:
supported rates: 1(B) 2(B) 5.5(B) 11(B)
extended supported rates: 6(B) 9 12(B) 18 24(B) 36 48 54

=> connection succeeds
