Thanks for the suggestions. 'apt-cache search' does not find
ieee80211_crypt_tkip or anything remotely similar.
wpa supplicant i installed, however my wireless router seems
to only offer WEP, which I have disabled for testing.
I've brought up the issue on the linux-wireless list. Got
a suggestion what to look at, but no ideas how to interpret.
My naive next step is to compile a kernel with the latest
drivers.
