I'd have expected ipw2100-firmware-1.3-8 and ipw2200-firmware-3.0-9.  In 
any case, if you have a 2200, you can safely remove the ipw2100-firmware 
RPM.

OK so far...

If you open System -> Administration -> Network, do you see eth1 and is it 
correctly listed as wireless?  In the Hardware tab, is it shown as the 
correct type of device?  In the Devices tab, if you select it and click 
Edit, then select the Hardware device tab, does it show correctly?  Does 
it list the correct MAC address?

What does lsmod | grep ipw show?  What does iwconfig show?
