ipw3945 problem after update

Hello ppl.

Having problem getting my laptop's wireless module to work after the latest update.
I'm using iphitus beyond kernel 2.6.17-beyond. Everything worked flawlessly before the update.

Now loading the ipw3945 module gives in kernel messages:
ipw3945: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
ipw3945: ipw3945.ucode load failed: Reason -2
ipw3945: Could not read microcode: -2
ipw3945: probe of 0000:05:00.0 failed with error -2

ls /lib/firmware/ gives:
LICENSE.ipw3945-ucode  ipw3945.ucode

I try reinstaling ipw3945ucode, downraging ipw3945-beyond & ipw3945d with no resault .
I even tryied downraging udev, but then when i turned the laptop's wifi switch on the laptop compeletely freezed  :shock: ! i had to shutdown it.

I'm currently having:
ipw3945-beyond 1.0.5-1
ipw3945-ucode 1.13-1
ipw3945d 1.7.18-5
udev 094-2

I really can't understand where the problem is.

I've moved to ARCH Kernel. Beyond kernel is problematic with IPW3945
