No Wireless Network after kernel upgrade(pacman new kernel=2.6.20.6-4)

Sunday, I installed Arch.  I followed the wiki page about Wireless Network(http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_Setup) and installed the ipw3945 package for my HP Compaq nc 6320( has an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection). It worked most of the time perfect.

Yesterday I did a system upgrade with pacman (sudo pacman pacman -Syu). (I have the unstable repo enabled)
I rebooted, and my Wireless Network was gone. I've checked /etc/rc.conf and my /etc/conf.d/wireless file
Everything was the same, nothing changed.

#
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
#
...

#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# HARDWARE
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Scan hardware and load required modules at bootup
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
# Module Blacklist - modules in this list will never be loaded by udev
MOD_BLACKLIST=()
#
# Modules to load at boot-up (in this order)
#   - prefix a module with a ! to blacklist it
#
MODULES=(tg3 ipw3945 acpi-cpufreq tifm_sd) 
# Scan for LVM volume groups at startup, required if you use LVM
USELVM="no"

#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# NETWORKING
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
HOSTNAME="athena"
#
# Use 'ifconfig -a' or 'ls /sys/class/net/' to see all available
# interfaces.
#
# Interfaces to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES
#   - prefix an entry in INTERFACES with a ! to disable it
#   - no hyphens in your interface names - Bash doesn't like it
#
# Note: to use DHCP, set your interface to be "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp")
#
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
#eth0="dhcp"
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth1)

#
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
#   - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it
#
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
#
# Enable these network profiles at boot-up.  These are only useful
# if you happen to need multiple network configurations (ie, laptop users)
#   - set to 'menu' to present a menu during boot-up (dialog package required)
#   - prefix an entry with a ! to disable it
#
# Network profiles are found in /etc/network-profiles
#
#NET_PROFILES=(main)

#
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# DAEMONS
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Daemons to start at boot-up (in this order)
#   - prefix a daemon with a ! to disable it
#   - prefix a daemon with a @ to start it up in the background
#
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng ipw3945d network netfs cpufreq powersaved hal crond 
@alsa @portmap @fam @gpm gdm)
# End of file
#
# Settings for wireless cards
#
# For each wireless interface declared in INTERFACES (in rc.conf), declare
# a wlan_${IF} variable that contains the arguments to be passed to
# iwconfig(8).  Then list the original interface name in the
# WLAN_INTERFACES array.
#

wlan_eth1="eth1 essid My_Wlan key My_WEP_KEY"
WLAN_INTERFACES=(eth1)

At the boot the ipw3945-daemon starts, but Network fails.
iwconfig still says that eth1 is my Wireless network.
So I tried connecting with iwconfig eth1 essid My-WLAN key MY_WEP_KEY.
That doesn't work either.
