I also don't have a wlan0 device with iwl3945 in the new kernel.  The first
time I booted, the kernel didn't find my Intel 82573L Gigabit Etherent
Controller, either, but a shutdown and  fresh boot seemed to fix that.  So I
shutdown completely and rebooted a couple of more times in case the magic
would work again, but it still doesn't find the wireless. 

(And this kernel doesn't seem to fix the wildly varying ping times in
the e1000 driver, either, but it doesn't seem to make them any worse.)
