This is probably the problem, I think you are loading the wrong drivers.
  What happens when you modprobe iwl3945?

Also, check the /lib/firmware directory as this card requires firmware
to be loaded thanks to your FCC.

I am going to guess that you messed something up.  I can tell you that I
 use the iwl3945 everyday (I also put an iwl4965 in my Acer One netbook,
and it is also rock solid).  I did nothing complicated in either of
these cases to get the Intel WiFI adaptors working.

Let us know what you find when you get back to that machine.

Before chasing this down, double check the basics.  Likely something
simple is the culprit (IMO the likely candidate is that you have no
firmware installed in /lib/firmware/).

I have never used this.  I just edit /etc/security/limits.conf myself.
