Hm, did you compile the in-kernel ipw2200-driver as a kernel module? If the driver is built-in, it will not work, because the driver cannot load its firmware before the kernel has booted. As others told before, you need the ipw2200-firmware too, even if you use the kernel-module.

I stick to the kernel module, just because I don't have to remerge the driver after installing a new kernel. Furthermore its the more cleaner way in my opinion. You don't have to patch the kernel-sources like you have to do by using the ieee80211-package.
