Hi norro,
Just for comparison, I myself also have a system with the same wifi card
and driver using the latest 2.6.31-14 kernel and it's detecting and
connecting to wifi networks just fine.
It seems from the kernel's perspective the driver is loading as expected
based on your dmesg output:
[ 13.496977] iwl3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG/BG Network Connection

However further examination of your WifiSyslog and RfKill logs show you
have the kill switch enabled:

killswitch

Make sure this is disabled and try again.
