I did this, wrote it up and thought I would share if anyone can't get
wireless going with ipw2200.

Just like rawhide, my instructions can flush your pc down the drain so if it
breaks you can only blame your self since you hit <enter>.....


 mkdir -p ~/downloads/ipw2200

cd ~/downloads/ipw2200

http://ieee80211.sourceforge.net/downloads.php

wget -c
http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ieee80211/ieee80211-1.1.6.tgz


 http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/downloads.php

wget -c
http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ipw2200/ipw2200-1.0.8.tgz


 http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php

grab the 2.4 firmware and drop it in your dir


 su -

cd /lib/firmware/

tar xvf /home/justin/downloads/ipw2200/ipw2200-fw-2.4.tgz

exit



 tar xvzf ieee80211-1.1.6.tgz

cd ieee80211-1.1.6

chmod +x remove-old

 cd ../ieee80211-1.1.6

make

su -c "make install" <--with quotes


 cd ../ipw2200-1.0.8

make

su -c "make install"

reboot ---make sure the modules get loaded and you can see your device

Check dmesg

 dmesg | grep ipw

Not sure what the Unknow's are, but I'm typing right now, so I assume my
network is running ;)

setup your wireless how ever you normally do it.
