Get wireless to work BLFS


I,m trying for the 1st time in BLFS to get wireless working, LSPCI
Code:
 04:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG
[Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)
I have been through the kernel and enabled the Parts for Intel wireless devices. As far as I can tell. IWCONFIG
Code:
Warning: Driver for device wlan0 has been compiled with version 22
of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 20.
Some things may be broken...

wlan0     IEEE 802.11abg  ESSID:off/any
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=0 dBm
          Retry limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:on

sit0      no wireless extensions.
IFCONFIG WLAn0 UP
Code:
[ 3634.436892] iwl3945 0000:04:00.0: iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode firmware file req failed: -2
[ 3634.439857] iwl3945 0000:04:00.0: iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode firmware file req failed: -2

You need the firmware required for the drivers. You can find it here - http://intellinuxwireless.org/?n=downloads
