I have installed a wifi card from a T500 into my T61, the issues are
still the same: wext works, but nl80211 does not.
I could try booting the Wheezy live CD again with this card, but I don't
see the point since it worked with the other card. Clearly since
everything worked fine at work, something else is at play here. I am
suspecting some issue with the interaction between my home router and
software. I have a newer 802.11n capable access point ordered and on the
way.
Still confused as to why this is not more wide spread, the T61 laptop,
at least a few years ago was very popular. But perhaps the WG102 router
it is connecting to is not so popular... On the WG102, I have tried
restoring to defaults and setting various different crypto options for
WPA/WPA2 as well, all the same outcome.
