[arch-general] Wifi not working after kernel upgrade to 2.6.29

Hi,

I've just upgraded kernel to 2.6.29.1-3 and since then I can't connect 
to my wireless network. netcfg times out and says "Wireless association 
failed". The driver is iwl3945, here is the profile's content:
CONNECTION="wireless"
INTERFACE=wlan0
SCAN="no"
SECURITY="wpa"
ESSID="foo"
KEY="foobar"
IP="dhcp"
TIMEOUT=20
QUIRKS=(preessid wpaessid)

If I correctly understand how it all works, wpa_supplicant is run and 
then "wpa_cli status" is saying "wpa_state=SCANNING" for the whole 20 
seconds until netcfg gives up.

Does anybody have similar problems or knows a solution?

Perhaps also relevant lines from /var/log/everything.log:
