I have read http://wiki.debian.org/iwlwifi last week, but that
didn't help at all.
After reading your suggestion, I've upgrade to debian sid with kernel
2.6.25-2-686.
However, 'iwlist wlan0 scan' still shows: no scan result. Network
manager still got no AP.
Upgrading to the latest kernel didn't help much.
Besides, my debian lenny system was built from clean install, not
upgraded from etch.
I haven't use the old ipw3945 on this newly installed system.
Furthermore, I have Windows Vista on this laptop, too.
The card works perfectly and can get connected very fast under Vista.
So, apparantly it's not a hardware problem.

next time please ask for support on debian user.
unstable has newer iwlwifi which works better on 3945 hardware,
check it out. installs just fine in testing.
Hardware: IBM Thinkpas R60 + Intel 3945 wireless
After upgrading to kernel 2.6.24 and switch to iwl3945 module, my wireless
stop working. The 'firmware-iwlwifi' package(ver:0.10) was correctly
installed.
In older kernels, I used the deprecated ipw3945 module, and it worked
perfectly without any problem. Now with iwl3945 + firmware-iwlwifi, it's
totally broken.

After upgrading to kernel 2.6.24 and switch to iwl3945 module, my wireless

In older kernels, I used the deprecated ipw3945 module, and it worked

totally broken.
Symptoms:
iwlist wlan0 scan always yield: no result. (The Intel AP was just beside me)
Network manager get no available wireless.
iwconfig or ifconfig can correctly display the information of the card.
ifconfig wlan0 up manually didn't help at all.
iwconfig wlan0 essid manually can associate an access point, but
dhclient wlan0 failed to connect.
Manually specify access point didn't work in Network Manager. It can find
the access point and get signal strength after manually specified.
However, it seldom get connected succesfully.
Sometimes, after trying 'iwconfig wlan0 essid' and 'dhclient wlan0' for
many times, or trying to connect via Network Manager many times,
it got connected. However the connection is quite unstable.
In older kernels with the deprecated ipw3945, none of these happened.
