My T42 with the Intel 2200BG behaves like that unless APM.sys is 
setup.  If APM is not setup (for instance using ACPI instead) it 
behaves this way.  Without APM installed the only way I can use the 
card while on wireless is by changing the power settings in the BIOS. 
  Configure - Power - Battery Optimized changed to Automatic or 
Maximum Performance.  If you have APM installed and it doesn't work 
for that card then you should be able to boot with the Automatic or 
Maximum Performance and then use the Power widget to drop to Battery 
Optimized after booting up.
