And what about module for wifi card with prism chipset? Is it in kernel? or what package for this cards?

The driver for prism2/2.5/3 chipsets is provided by the wlan-ng26 package, not by the kernel. It's a very mature and stable driver. If it's prism54, the original version is in the kernel, but you would need to check on prism54.org before using it - there have been various developments since.

The wlan-ng26 is for arch-stock kernel. But I have my own kernel 2.6.15.6.

Just use ABS to rebuild wlan-ng for your kernel. There's a _kernver variable on the second line of the PKGBUILD. Put your 'uname -r' in there instead of 2.6.15-ARCH.

Maybe a bit off topic but here http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ is a quite extensive overview of wireless and Linux in general.
