To conclude this topic, here's what I found out with Colin's help.

 * Make sure the right firmware is in the correctly named folder.
 * Set /both/ wired ethernet and the wifi interface to "DHCP".
 * After the first connection to the wifi router you can white-list the 
MAC address of your wifi card (depending on your router model) and 
enable MAC filtering for a minumim of security.
 * Be patient, the negotiation between Haiku and the router can take a 
while.

I'm happy to report that my "Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network 
Connection (device 4222)" works flawlessly with my unencrypted wifi 
router (Fritz!box 7020). Thanks Colin!

Regards,
Humdinger
