Well, I guess I should say sorry. After all this discussion I've tried
to compile and boot kernel without WIRELESS_EXT once more. And now it
worked.
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.
