Cursed problem: Intel Pro Wireless 2200BG

Hi everyone!

I am trying to solve this problem for a couple of weeks now, hopefully
u will help me to get a proper sleep. :)

I have a small home network, 3 laptops, all connected wireless.
Everything worked fine, for about half a year, the one of the laptops
started to lose connection after about one minute. To be exact, the
connection is not lost, it still says, that laptop is connected to the
network, signal strength is excellent. However, when u start to ping
e.g. example google.com, the average packet loss is about 70%.

After trying many other things with which i don't want to bother you,
i tried to configure the network under Knoppix, to make sure, that it
is not a hardware problem. At first it was exactly the same, however,
when i set the maximum speed of wireless network to 1 mbit, everything
worked fine, connection was stable, no packet loss at all.

So, what i want to do now, is to set the maximum wireless speed under
Windows XP SP2 to 1 mbit. I was looking for some utility, which could
do that, but i didn't find any. Setting of the Intel Pro Wireless
2200BG wireless card doesn't offer options concerning the speed of
wireless network.

Do you have any ideas, how to set the speed ?

Thank you in advance!
