have you try to unload and load the module

# modprobe -r ipw2200
# modprobe ipw2200

And check if there is an error

# dmesg | grep ipw

so how do i connect to this wireless network

[papahesa]

great your ipw2200 is now ready
then you can add your wireless connection

$ nm-connection-editor

goto the wireless tab
set the ssid and encryption type based on the "iwlist eth1 scan" result
