Hi Ronald,
Thanks for your suggestion. The version I had installed was 3.0.2.
Just to make sure, I removed it and used the rpm you suggested. After
installation, my /lib/firmware looked like this:
ipw2200-2.4-LICENSE ipw2200-sniffer.fw ipw-2.4-ibss.fw
ipw2200-3.0-LICENSE ipw-2.4-boot.fw ipw-2.4-ibss_ucode.fw
ipw2200-bss.fw ipw-2.4-bss.fw ipw-2.4-sniffer.fw
ipw2200-ibss.fw ipw-2.4-bss_ucode.fw ipw-2.4-sniffer_ucode.fw
After rmmod ipw2200 and modprobe ipw2200, there was no increase in
sensitivity (e.g., I cannot communicate with wireless in the room
adjacent to the router, whereas previously I was able to communicate
not only in adjacent rooms but from much further distances).
So I have reverted to 3.0.2 and the problem remains.
