Success!!!
I downloaded ipw3945d_1.7.22-4_i386.deb from packages.debian.org and
installed it. After configurung /etc/network/interfaces my wireless
works perfectly.
Many thanks to Andreas and Lubos for the help.

it does not differ from yours.
yes, it looks pretty similar.
Does this mean the daemon is running? I don't find an ipw3945d in
/etc/init.d or somewhere else. Could this be the reason? If yes: in
which packega do I find ipw3945d to start?
you should try to install ipw3945d then - it might be causing the
trouble.
$apt-file search ipw3945d
ipw3945d: etc/init.d/ipw3945d
ipw3945d: etc/logrotate.d/ipw3945d
ipw3945d: etc/modprobe.d/ipw3945d
ipw3945d: sbin/ipw3945d

i've installed this machine long long time ago, when the ipw3945 stuff
wasn't part of the package collection - at that time, it involved some
fiddling (check http://lubos.vrbka.net/miscellaneous/amilo-pro-v3205
if you are interested) - but i don't think anything should be needed
anymore.
best,
