ok I have been two days on this card trying to make it work!! but... I am just about to break my laptop apart!!
I am new to gentoo but not to linux in general
My wireless card is : Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection
I found that the module for this card is iwl3945 so I modprobe it. and it seems fine
now... after this nothing seems to work!!
some info

I had the same issue with the card... it could not scan and could only connect to unencrypted networks. Any /etc/init.d/wlan0 restart or attempts to reconfigure led to the infamous message "Wireless radio has been killed for interface wlan0".
My solution: emerge wpa_supplicant and wicd.
