work log
2015-08-25: after a reboot, the wireless wlan1 interface works:

ok.
2015-08-25: let me install a driver for the Intel 3945 PRO wireless. First I edit /etc/apt/sources.list; I add a "non-free" component to this line:
deb http://ftp.no.debian.org/debian/ jessie main for good measure I also add the "contrib", making the line deb http://ftp.no.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
then run update:
tingo@kg-u35jc:~$ sudo apt-get update
next, install the firmware-iwlwifi package:
tingo@kg-u35jc:~$ sudo apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: firmware-iwlwifi 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 69 not upgraded. Need to get 2,138 kB of archives. After this operation, 13.6 MB of additional disk space will be used.

The last step is reloading the iwl3945 module.
tingo@kg-u35jc:~$ sudo modprobe -r iwl3945 tingo@kg-u35jc:~$ sudo modprobe iwl3945
Check dmesg output:

looks ok.
2015-08-25: I booted Debian 8 from a SSD connected via a usb-to-sata adapter. Simply press F12, select the correct device and up comes the grub (grub2) boot menu.
