Not sure if you've come up with a solution yet, but if you have a floppy or usb drive, you could do an 'emerge -pv ipw2200' to find out what files it needs, grab them from another system and just place them in '/usr/portage/distfiles'. This should let you install support for ipw2200.HTH,-Hani

[gentoo-user] genkernel on sparc won't unmount initrd
