Last time I tried it was 3.0. Driver from vanilla sources didn't work, so I compiled compat-wireless-3.0-2 and it did warn me during compilation, something like "WIRELESS_EXT is not set, something won't work". Then after boot syslog had somewhat the same message and wireless didn't work. That's why I started this thread. Now with 3.1-rc2 everything works as is, no warnings in syslog and NetworkManager connects to my network without any problems. I don't know what has changed but I feel very sorry for all this mess.
