[PlanetCCRMA] intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG with planetedge kernels

[Matthew Allen]

could you post 

lsmod | grep ipw2200
cat /var/log/messages | grep ipw2200

also is your /etc/modprobe.conf set up with the line:
alias eth1 ipw2200

this will make it so that ifconfig and the rest of those net apps know
what device eth1 points to.
