[SOLVED] Could sb help me setting up my wifi? (iwl3945)

I followed the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless_Setup

[maciek@arch ~]$ sudo hwdetect --show-net
NET    : tg3 ieee80211 ieee80211_crypt mac80211 ipw3945 iwl3945 cfg80211 

[maciek@arch ~]$ sudo pacman -Q wireless_tools
wireless_tools 29-2

[maciek@arch ~]$ lsmod | grep iwl3945
iwl3945                84852  0 
mac80211              130572  1 iwl3945

but here I have an error:

[maciek@arch ~]$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
Password: 
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory

I'll be thankful

Thanks! Works!
I read this section but I didn't understand what does it mean to use a firmware.
Now I commited a minor change to wiki that explains it imho better.
