I'm wondering why you installed Scripts and Compile and rebuilt your kernel
if you were using GoboLinux 014.01 final. Even though it's always
recommended to update Scripts and Compile, 014.01 has last version of both
those packages. And the kernel should be built with the iwl3945 driver as
module, so all that is left is to install the ucode.
