I would fully recommend OpenBSD even though it is neither Linux, nor a distro. OpenBSD 4.0 which will be released in a little over a week will support your wireless (taken from http://openbsd.org/40.html): New binary blob free wpi(4) driver for Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG IEEE 802.11a/b/g wireless. Though if you are wanting everything done for you configuration wise this may not be for you totally, the only configuration stuff I have had to do. Pertained to add services such as OpenNTPD, and apache, which can all be read in the documentation. Other than the there were other minor stuff like changing xorg.conf to fit my laptop screen.
