dmesg said:

ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200 Network Driver, 0.4
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation
ipw2200: ipw2200_boot.fw load failed
ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: 0xFFFFFFFF
ipw2200: failed to register network device

I don't know how new the latest hotplug would have to be: I didn't have
net access while installing this kernel this afternoon! I notice there's
a new one there no that wasn't there during the previous three upgrades
today, I guess that's what you meant.

In any case, manually putting the firmware in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmaware
also worked.
