Not sure what is causing this, but it prevents the card from functioning. I have also created a bug: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13585 .

Hm, what kernel are you on? You can try wireless-testing directly.

I'm using 2.6.30 with the KMS radeon patches, don't know if that is interfering. I'll try wireless-testing directly.

Yeah this is odd, 2.6.30 shouldn't have an issue with backport unless I'm missing something. Let us know how it goes with wireless-testing.

I'm using latest wireles-testing and I have iwl3945 on my X60s. iwl3945 is working fine for me.

Yeah the user tried a vanilla 2.6.30 and it seems to be working fine now, it seems related to kms somehow.

Darren also submitted a kernel.org (#13585) bug which was closed by himself with reason "Turns out it was a bad development kernel from ubuntu.".

Yes, sorry, I should of commented on this list also. Turns out the reason it wasn't detecting was do due a bad kernel package.
