In debian sid i can see ipw2200-source 1.0.8-3. In stable kernel 2.6.18.1 from kernel.org I can see ipw2200 1.1.2 Intel has 1.2.0. kerneltree Documentation/networking/README.ipw2200 tells how to set debugging level.
Make sure this accesspoint/router is properly working (e.g., not grunting under load from casual wardrivers ;) Try to test by joining a well-known working AP / router @friends and start with most simple configuration, no key etc. > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=390341 dpkg-buildpackage is in package dpkg-dev m°
