Patrick, the iwl4965 and iwl3945 drivers worked fine in 10.3. They now 
in 11.0 are sporadic at best!! NO version should ever be released 
without 100% solid critical drivers AND software to connect with them, 
like Knetworkmanager. This is likely to give 11.0 a big black eye by 
reviewers.......along with a messed up update for nVidia drivers.
