No, of course I had not. No one instruction has told me.to do.  I am really 
_getting_mad ! I am used to work on research and development., but this is a 
very hard case of try and error approach. Nevertheless, please continue 
helping, I will return efforts writing a hint for this terrible issue. ;-)

I did as you suggested and included the rule on 25-lfs.rules. firmware_helper 
is in /sbin/. However, after rebooting the first time I got:
-----------------

After a new reboot dmesg changed into:

----------------
It seems that the firmloading problem turned to be the second one ( not 
ipw-2.4-boot.fw )

To Peter Feller's comments:
firmware_helper is in /sbin. However, a run_x does not exist.
iwconfig delivers:
l0                      no wireless extensions
dummy0          no wireless extensions
eth0                    no wireless extensions
