No, PCI devices have unique ids, which can be read out without any device 
specific driver.

To get it working, you  will need to install the wlan-kmp rpm for the kernel 
driver module. the ipw3945d rpm for the regulary deamon,  and the 
ipw-firmware rpm , which is included in the non-OSS section of the 
distribution  due to the licence of the firmware.
