ipw2200 + Laptop + Hoary = Mess?

[Lawrence MacIntyre]

I have a laptop with Ubuntu and Gentoo installed.  When I installed
them, both distros had that same problem.  What you need to fix that is
the latest ipw2200 drivers.  They are currently at 1.0.3.  I haven't
fixed the Ubuntu version yet, but I did update the Gentoo drivers and
they work quite well now.
