I did this, wrote it up and thought I would share if anyone can't get
wireless going with ipw2200.
Just like rawhide, my instructions can flush your pc down the drain so if it
breaks you can only blame your self since you hit <enter>.....
mkdir -p ~/downloads/ipw2200
cd ~/downloads/ipw2200
http://ieee80211.sourceforge.net/downloads.php
wget -c
http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ieee80211/ieee80211-1.1.6.tgz
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/downloads.php
wget -c
http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ipw2200/ipw2200-1.0.8.tgz
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php
grab the 2.4 firmware and drop it in your dir
su -
cd /lib/firmware/
tar xvf /home/justin/downloads/ipw2200/ipw2200-fw-2.4.tgz
exit
tar xvzf ieee80211-1.1.6.tgz
cd ieee80211-1.1.6
chmod +x remove-old

cd ../ieee80211-1.1.6
make
su -c "make install" <--with quotes
cd ../ipw2200-1.0.8
make
su -c "make install"
reboot ---make sure the modules get loaded and you can see your device
Check dmesg
dmesg | grep ipw

Not sure what the Unknow's are, but I'm typing right now, so I assume my
network is running ;)
setup your wireless how ever you normally do it.
