We should not switch to non-IBSS channels when working in IBSS mode,
otherwise there are microcode errors, and after some time system
crashes.
This bug is only observable when software scan is used in IBSS mode,
so should be considered as regression after:

iwlwifi: remove IBSS channel sanity check
That commit claim that mac80211 will not use non-IBSS channel in IBSS
mode, what definitely is not true. Bug probably should be fixed in
mac80211, but that will require more work, so better to apply that patch
temporally, and provide proper mac80211 fix latter.

Intel WiFi devices 3945 and 4965 now have their own driver in the folder
drivers/net/wireless/iwlegacy
Add support to build these drivers independently of the driver for
AGN devices. Selecting the 3945 builds iwl3945.ko and iwl_legacy.ko,
and selecting the 4965 builds iwl4965.ko and iwl_legacy.ko. iwl-legacy.ko
contains code shared between both devices.
The 3945 is an ABG/BG device, with no support for 802.11n. The 4965 is a 2x3
ABGN device.
