Finally, the old madwifi driver works on my T41p with 2.6.15.

Thus, as root:

  cd /usr/src
  svn checkout http://svn.madwifi.org/branches/madwifi-old madwifi-old
  cd madwifi-old
  make
  make install
  reboot
  ifconfig ath0 up
  wpa_supplicant -B -Dmadwifi -iath0 -c wpa.conf
  dhcpcd-bin ath0

where wpa.conf contains

  network={
          ssid="fleuret"
          scan_ssid=1
          key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
          psk="mycoolpassphrase"
  }

Cheers,
