I have this same error from time to time, but I have not seen any correlation
between this error and the failures. 

To summarize what I am seeing in case that wasn't clear in my first post and to
take into account new things I have tried:

* With Ubuntu Warty, the support of ipw2200 was perfect: it had been detected
right away during the installation process and was working perfectly.
* After upgrade to Hoary and with linux-image-2.6.10-5-686 version 2.6.10-34,
the network goes up after a reboot, fails after a while and becomes then very
stable after a rmmod/modprobe/ifup. I haven't tried to do the
rmmod/modprobe/ifup before the initial failure.
* Same thing with linux-image-2.6.10-5-386 version 2.6.10-34.2.
* With linux-image-2.6.10-5-686 version 2.6.10-34.2, ipw2200 is always flakey
and I have to reload it ~ every 15 minutes or so.

I have thus two workarounds: stay with linux-image-2.6.10-5-686 version
2.6.10-34 that is optimized for the processor I am using but may have security
issues or move to linux-image-2.6.10-5-386 version 2.6.10-34.2 which should be
safer but less optimized for the microprocessor.

The error message mentioned Edwin Shin was already issued at boot time under
Warty without any visible consequence and that still seems to be the case with
Hoary.
