lspci does not output a wireless device at all even after installing
the firmware / manually placing it in /lib/firmware and adding it to
the boot image..

I don't understand this part.. You want me to paste the dmesg output
as a whole (that'd be too long)? Or should i pipe grep -i <something>
and display the output?

I'm booting using a Debian linux-image-2.6.26-1-... kernel.. I forgot
to mention updating the image.. I'd done it once i added the ipw2200
module to the kernel using modprobe..
