From the ipw(4) manual page:

     ipw -- Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 IEEE 802.11 driver

i.e. 3945 hardware is *not* supported by this driver - sorry.  There is an 
ongoing effort to port a driver called wpi(4) to support this hardware, 
details at: http://www.clearchain.com/wiki/Wpi  But this is in an early 
stage of development.  Testing is welcome, however.  An additional 
possibility is the ndis framework - see ndisgen(8).
