My hardware is similar (a thinkpad with the intel 2200), and I have discovered that some of Fedora's network scripts don't play nicely with the wireless tools. In particular Given that your firmware matches your version of the driver, I have found that a script consisting of these commands brings my device up regularly:
ifconfig eth1 down ifconfig eth1 up iwconfig eth1 channel 11 iwconfig eth1 rate 54M iwconfig eth1 key [my wep key] iwconfig eth1 essid "[my network name]" dhclient eth1 I probably should try out Ubuntu as well, but for those not inclined to reformat, that may be useful. todd.
