That image appears to contain the firmware for both the intel 2200BG
and 2915AG.

Which intel wireless chip do you have?
I believe it should be one of:
IBM 11a/b/g Wireless LAN Mini PCI Adapter II (An ath5k card)
Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Mini-PCI Adapter
Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Mini-PCI Adapter

Debian 7.x is Wheezy. Squeeze was Debian 6.x and is no longer the
current stable release.

I have never heard of 'remastersys'.

I have never used the live images at all.
What error does it give you when firmware-7.1.0-i386-netinst.iso gets
to the network detection?
I did find a page discussing problems installing Debian in 2011 on a
thinkpad T43, and hanging at network detection. The problem turns out
to be the weird floppy interface on the T43. Try disabling the floppy
in the BIOS settings, and that should hopefully solve the problem.
The T43 had a port for an external floppy drive, even if you don't
actually have one, and it is usually enabled by default. And yes the
live image works fine with it enabled.
