Intel 3945abg won't connect

[fsjeep]

I'm new to Linux and not sure where to start with this problem. I previously was running Mint 12 KDE but because of Software Manager issues I decided to upgrade to Mint 13 KDE. Suddenly in the upgrade my wifi quit working. It can scan and see wifi networks, once it connects to my network it immediately disconnects. I'm thinking maybe it's a driver issue?
This is on a HP pavilion dv5000 with an Intel 3945abg wifi
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

I ran mintwifi, lspci & lsmod
