I'd also like to announce that I made PKGBUILDs and i686 packages for the iwlwifi drivers for intel 3945ABG and 4965AGN chipsets. Those are based on mac80211, that means you need a 2.6.22 kernel to run them. The packages are built against tpowa's 2.6.22-rc4. Packages and PKGBUILDs for the modules and the firmware are here: http://www.archlinux.org/~thomas/iwlwifi/ My tests conclude that the iwl3945 driver is not really stable, and you should use the ipw3945 driver if you have such a card (unless you love reboots and unstable connections). I can't test the iwl4965 driver, because I don't have the hardware, but these packages should help anyone who has such a new Intel card.
