Hello
When I recompile the last kernel arch (2.6.21.1-8) with a 1000 Hz timer frequency, my wireless card (intel 3945) doesn't work. With the same kernel config and a 250 Hz timer frequency, all is right.
Everybody knows the same problem ?

I have vanilla 2.6.21 HZ 1000 or 864 and no problems at all with ipw3945 (from sources). Maybe double check your kernel config?
Also "does not work" is not much of information:
does it compile?
can you see ipw3945 after issuing
ifconfig/iwconfig?
what errors are you seeing when trying to connect?

Kernel compile without problem. iwconfig can see the wireless card but after dhcpcd can't get an ip adress (timed out).
I tryed with the original kernel config and just modify 250 Hz to 1000 Hz.
But it's not so important, I don't feel any difference between 250 and 1000, so I use 250 Hz.

Since 2.6.21 for 32 bit we have tickless idle (NO_HZ) feature (for 64 bit it'll be in 2.6.23) -> this should result in power save with laptops...
