You probably want/need hw_mode=g here

This seems wrong, try 7

Are you sure about this one?
Exceptionally I should post in HTML. "driver=madwifi." is part of the explaination, IOW it's commented out. I don't know the drivers, have to read about them later.

You should probably set this to wlan0, just to make sure it doesn't mess
with eth0 and ppp0

You should enable a line like this, just make sure the range does *not*
include 192.168.10.24 (which is what you configured for wlan0)
Ok

Not needed.
Ok
Hope this helps,
Andrei
In the meantime I edited the files myself, on the quick I'll re-edit the re-edited files, hopefully this won't cause new issues. After shopping I'll try again and take some time for it.
This [1] doesn't make the LED flashing again, it's still dead.
root@oz:~# iwlist scan
lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
wlan0 No scan results
ppp0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
For the default install, just using pppoeconf, nm not set, the LED flashed from time to time and I guess the iwlist scanning would show what's on the air. Using Mint Lisa now, iwlist still does. When nm was set, the LED flashed continuously. Now it looks like the driver or firmware is borked, the LED never will flash. Should I continue after restoring the complete install from a backup or is it just because of the new and wrong settings? I wonder because I removed and installed completely before I started the second trail, but I didn't get the LED alive, even without new settings.
Regards,
Ralf
