After read this thread I don't understand how to start net.wlan0 with firmware from slot (1) (using 2.6.30-gentoo-r1) instead of usage a script which manual configure device but this is not the solution...

On purpose... This is because of changes in kernel. I do not remember which version of the Kernel required the new firmware. But it was definitely stated in the elog of iwl3945-ucode, that there are compatibility issues with some kernel versions. Sebastian -- " Religion ist das Opium des Volkes.

I would guess the installer might put the firmware in /lib/modules/ `uname -r`/something If you change the kernel version, the `uname -r` path changes. Stroller.
