Well, I got some progress.
1. I found Intel 4965 AGN MM2 802.11 A/G/N card inside the machine.
2. Following these instructions:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Debian_Wheezy_on_a_ThinkPad_T61#WiFi:_Intel_3945.2F4965AGN
, I installed non-free package firmware-iwlwifi.
3. If I do:
# modprobe iwl4965
it gives me the following:
# lsmod | grep -i 4965
iwl4965 83564 0
iwl_legacy 48206 1 iwl4965
mac80211 192806 2 iwl_legacy,iwl4965
cfg80211 137243 3 mac80211,iwl_legacy,iwl4965
and, in /var/log/syslog:

4. After the successful modprobe, the command:
# iv list
does not complain about the missing nl80211 anymore, but doesn't print
anything either. :/ Same with:
# iv dev
Output of # lspci doesn't look any better, too. I also tried this:
# iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
What's wrong? Why do I need manual modprobe for the driver to load?!?
Why doesn't it work??
