What Model T43 are you running ?
What Version of Linux are you running.?
I am looking to set up a T43 1871 with the same chipset.

I have an IBM T43 laptop with Linux on it and an Intel 2915a/b/g

on my wireless network. However, when I examine a captured packet
wireshark stops at layer 2, so I can not see the higher layer info
(TCP, UDP ,...).

What do you mean by "stops at layer 2"?  Do you mean that you see the
802.11 header, but everything above the 802.11 header is dissected as
data rather than as whatever protocol it might be?
