I got this solved by removing (renaming) /lib/firmware/agere_sta_fw.bin
as explained in bug #498336 comment #86. I guess this one could be
marked as a duplicate for that one.

The reason seems to be a new firmware (9.48) that supports WPA but stops
supporting WEP. The original f/w (8.70) supports only WEP. So the
solution is not very useful for a movable machine.
