I must say that I'm still encountering this problem. I've ignored or worked around it for a while but it's getting damn annoying now.
Symptoms: ipw3945 connects to untrusted wireless networks all by itself, causing havoc with NM and lately even on the command line. I need to restart NM and/or reload the driver very often but just now it's gotten a whole load worse: I kill all traces of NM, ipw3945d and unload ipw3945. There's a specific unprotected network I want to connect to so I modprobe ipw3945 and issue iwconfig eth1 essid "My First Network" && iwconfig eth1 ap 00:eb:10:c8:20:19 It first associates fine but a few seconds later the driver completely forgets both essid and bssid forced above and happily goes on to connect to "My Second Network", the one which I use most of the time. Repeatedly specifying the above command does nothing to rectify the situation, it keeps falling back on the second network. Signal issues are not relevant, rssi's are around -50dBm, the two ap's are identical in model and stacked on top of each other.
