Yes, as posted elsewhere.

That, or dhclient.  If I use dhclient then I don't need to edit eth1
into /etc/network/interfaces, which is a little better because that now
interferes with NM (it didn't use to on my machine)

Not particularly, I'm afraid.  I don't have much trouble connecting to
unprotected APs at any point, AFAIK.

Whatever ships with dapper:

  [17179587.936000] ipw3945: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945 Network
                    Connection driver for Linux, 1.0.5m

I built a fresh 2.6.18-rc6 kernel with ipw3945-1.1.0 (latest release)
after finally figuring out everything I needed (nontrivial, and the
Intel instructions are totally wrong for me)!  It associates, or says
that it does, but I can't seem to send/receive any data through it yet
(e.g. ping yahoo.com yields "unknown host").
