Hello !
Thanks for your answer.
Default output after reboot using /etc/hostname.iwm0

No worry, factory defaults. Content is a copy of /etc/hostname.urtwn0.
Booth lines have no effect with this AP.
Output for urtwn0 using /etc/hostname.urtwn0 also since reboot.

ifconfig iwm0 scan works.
If I switch back to b it works with the Nexus 7 (also not with a and g).
ifconfig iwm0 media autoselect mode 11b
dhclient iwm0
iwm0: no link ........... got link

Tried the TP-Link AP with b again with the same result.
Maybe it helps.
