I have an ipw2200 as well in my Thinkpad T43.
I would suggest using NetworkManager instead of messing with iwconfig.
Do this:
service NetworkManager restart
chkconfig NetworkManager on
and then you should see a new applet-icon in Gnome. (if not, run nm-applet
as user)
NetworkManager works a bit like windows, it will tell you when it connects
and disconnects (also for wired) and you can easily select a wireless
nework and provide keys.
