Ok, I figured this one out. It turns out that running `uname -r` shows me that I'm now using the 386 architecture kernel, instead of the generic kernel I was running prior to this update. Now, this wouldn't be so much of a problem if the "linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-11-386" package was also installed when this architecture change happened. Instead, I got the "linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-10-generic" package updated to "linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-11-generic", which would have worked for the generic kernel, not the 386. As soon as I installed the "linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-11-386" package, I was back in business and I simply loaded my iwl3945 module (sudo modprobe iwl3945), and I had wireless again!
When I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.24-12, it actually switched my architecture back to generic, and I had my modules again (just make sure that you have the "linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-12-generic" package installed). If you have the 386 kernel, then make sure you have the appropriate module package installed as well. Also to note, my compiz still wasn't working, because I was getting a "Checking for Xgl: Not present" error every time I tried to start it. After a bit of investigation, I found out that (by looking in my $HOME /.xsession-errors file) my system was trying to load the libglx.so module, and couldn't find it. So, I checked into that file, and it was present in the same place that my X server was looking. I found out that the /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so file was actually a symbolic link that pointed to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.169.09, but that file was not there. Instead, there was a new file, /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.169.12. By simply running "sudo rm /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so; sudo ln -s /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so.169.12 /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so", I was able to then get compiz running after restarting my X server. Success! Although now I'm experiencing another error, the "gnome-setting-daemon" error that I've seen in another bug, <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings- daemon/+bug/199960">Bug #199960</a>.
