If you want to remain in GEM stable do apt-get update, since Elive GEM 2.0 is at 1.9.??, until this reaches 2.0 a stable a distribution upgrade is not available yet. If you want to move to current as of now, 1.9.16, so much has changed it would be best to download the current development .iso and do an install/upgrade. I also have a Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Mini-PCI Express Adapter in a lenovo z61m and it works perfectly. Binary firmware for Intel Wireless 3945 (old style) is what I am using version 0.11 and Binary firmware for Intel Wireless 3945 and 4965 which contains Intel Wireless 3945 firmware, version 15.28.1.6 through firmware-iwlwifi version 0.13.

Unnafortunately, upgrade the actual stable version of Elive is not that easy... and yes, i recommend too to use the development releases between waiting for the next stable release that is one the way, needs to wait debian release too

I close this ticket since is not really possible to solve it, so just use the development versions for now :)
