See this: http://www.archlinux.org/news/414/
Specifically this part: "The ipw3945 driver doesn't compile anymore. 
It's probably easy to patch, but we'll stop maintaining it anyway. 
Please use iwl3945 or compile the driver yourself (the latest PKGBUILD 
and patches can be found at 
http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/ipw3945/trunk/)"
