So I tested more versions of compat-wireless-old and found 2 things:

i used same kernel - debian etchnhalf - 2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-amd64 #1 SMP



1.

packages:

compat-wireless-old-2008-09-04

compat-wireless-old-2008-09-05

compat-wireless-old-2008-09-10

compat-wireless-old-2008-09-12

compat-wireless-old-2008-09-13

compat-wireless-old-2008-09-14



allow me to associate with my router and authenticate via WEP, I made r=
eboot between trying each of those (mainly because rmmod causes my kern=
el to crash: http://i34.tinypic.com/6gwj01.jpg)



in each try I inserted built modules: cfg80211, mac80211, iwlcore and i=
wl4965



using packages:

compat-wireless-old-2008-09-15

compat-wireless-old-2008-09-16



with these packages I can\'t associate with my router, and I get messag=
e:

wlan0: association with AP 00:19:5b:e0:f3:20 timed out



procedure is the same, except that module iwl4965 is now called iwlagn,=
and I have to manually add iwl4965.o to iwlagn in makefile in iwlwifi =
directory



I tried to make a diff between version 2008-09-14 and 2008-09-15, which=
I hoped would be small, but the number of changes is huge. which makes=
it hard to locate possible bug/change, which is causing this.



2:

I also found, that monitor mode seems to cause some troubles. After fre=
sh reboot drivers work fine and association is OK, but if I switch off =
wlan0, change mode to monitor, switch on card, play a bit (tcpdump, air=
odump-ng) and then again, switch off, set mode to managed, switch on an=
d try to connect to my router then association works, but I\'m not able=
to get any IP and dhcpclient fails on timeout.
