Doesn't this suggest that you have an ipw2100 adapter, not a ipw2200?
- hence installing the ipw2200 firmware doesn't help, and you need to
install the relevant ipw2100 firmware (available from livna). I am not
overly familiar with these cards however - but I would suggest double
checking you know what card you have :)
