Solved same problem otherwise (HP nw9440): /etc/modprobe.d/ipw3945 tries to launch /sbin/ipw3945d-$(uname -r), but without the linux-restricted-modules-generic, there is no (e.g.) ipw3945d-2.6.17-10-generic only the ...-386. So ln -s ipw3945d-2.6.17-10-386 ipw3945d-2.6.17-10-generic solved my probs. Will install the linux-restricted-modules-generic now however. Thanks!
