Always looking forward to a new kernel release - the eager anticipation as to what will happen ... ohhhh the suspense!!
This time around the pleasure was short ... ipw3945 requires <2.6.27 and there was no way I could '--ignore ipw3945' :-(
Tried to ignore kernel as well and just do the rest, but of course that was doomed to fail - all the new packages need >=2.6.27, so there I am, all dressed up and nowhere to go.
FYI - this li'l desktop of mine doesn't even _need_ wireless, it doesn't have the chip!
Can anyone point me in the right direction - plueeeze ?!

Duh - I was being stupid (as usual).
Remedy:
pacman -R ipw3945
pacman -Syu
... simple if one uses the little grey ones ...
Although - I do have a dell laptop with the 3945-chip - I guess that one will have to wait until the issue has been settled!
BTW - can anyone tell me _how_ to change the title of the topic so I can change it to '[solved]' ??

ipw3945 is deprecated. Use iwl3945 instead - it's included in the kernel.
/me reads post again
If you don't need wireless, just remove the ipw3945 package. Why do you have it installed? :?

@tomk
Why it is installed?
Long story - I keep some really big files with everything under the sun so I can install virtually everything after the first basic install, it goes something like this:
for f in 1-wm 2-fonts 3-selected 4-more; do
pacman -S `grep -v '^#' /some/path/archlinux/post-install/$f`
done
Obviously - I don't keep them sufficiently updated! :-(
