but the only configured eth device is the ethernet (eth0).
if i try to create a new wireless connection, it doesn't give me the 
possibility to setup the ipw2200 device.
i can use the ipw2200 device to configure an ethernet connection, but when i 
activate it, it says that the device doen't exists.
i have tried already to install the driver version 1.0.4, but after that the 
device is not recognized at all.

it is impossible to run iwconfig on the eth1 (ipw2200) device.

any suggestions?

thanks in advance
