I have Intel(R) PRO/WIreless 2200 and it works pretty fine with ipw2200. The
only thing I had to do was to update the firmware. I also found out that I
have some problems on newer kernels (after I do update), but it works pretty
fine on the kernel supplied on FC5 installation CDs

Since I use KDE I use KWifiManager and it works fine.
