I don't know about ipw3495, but with ipw2200 you can't get the firmware in 
an RPM package, you have to agree to the license and download it from 
Intel's site. If you don't install the firmware then the driver will load, 
but it writes a message to your syslog and fails to initialise the card. 
And you get the same symptoms, i.e. no wireless interface. You might want 
to check your syslog for any messages that appear when you load the 
driver module.

Hope that helps.

Cheers, Chris.
