I think I finally figured out what's going on - the web pages were quite confusing. looks like I'm SOL, and that I do _have_ to use the iwl3945 driver for the device. I thought it had been superceded by an open-source driver which provided AP functionality. I was wrong. don't buy this card if you want to turn it into an AP. All you folks that think closed-source drivers don't matter - this is why it does. I can't do this precisely because this goofy card uses a closed source binary firmware load.
