ifconfig eth1 down (assuming eth1 is wifi)
modprobe -r ieee80211,ipw2200
These are with the install tarballs:
cd ieee80211-version
. remove-old
make
make install
cd ipw2200-version
. remove-old
make
make install

I don´t see why you get those error with the included version of the
ipw2200 driver but the errors above are because of an ipw2200 driver
missmatch against ieee80211
