OK, I really think, that 2.6.15 still may have some problems with Wireless 
issues, as I wrote to Alexander Petrakov

mhm ? where do I get a firmware_helper ? are we talking about udev ? Up to 
now, I did not have udev installed, as I was not asked to do so in all the 
instructions. But I am prepared to try it.

All in the nutshell, I have the impression, that Linux-Intel PRO/Wireless 
2200BG is still in a very early state of development ?  Would it not be a 
good idea to include some instructions in the BLFS-Book ?

Thank you very much for your link. I will try it.
