Well it's quite nice to be paid to work on one platform with one controlled distro, the hardware vendors actually answer emails, there is a testing regime... it's a bit different to the $RANDOM_PC and Fedora. What are your problems with iwl3945 though, it works quite well for me in the case where it is only expected to work with one WPA network. -Andy
