Sorry, this is not the same bug. This bug concerns the -386 kernels.
I've always had complete success with the -generic ones (and have
actually abandoned trying to use the -386 ones as they are probably
slower than the -generic kernels if you're one faster hardware).

Anyway, I had the same trouble as you, the -13-generic kernel not
allowing ipw3945 (or nvidia, for that matter) to work.

This seems to have been caused by a missing linux package for the
restricted drivers for the -13-generic kernel. I've just done a
synaptic-update and the missing package has appeared and after
installing and rebooting both the ipw3945 and nvidia drivers are working
quite happily.

As I've lost interest in getting the -13-386 kernel to run on the Dell
D620 (I've realised that my other two machines are also running just the
-generic kernel), suggest this bug-report is killed as "no fix".
