I have the same rev card in a T-42 thinkpad running FC-3.  I've never
used the rpms, ive always just used the packages from ipw2200.sf.net.

Here is what I do, it may be worth a shot to see if this still fails:

Download the module package from the ipw2200.sf.net site, and unpack the
package:

# zcat ipw2200-1.0.1.tgz | tar xvf -

Step into the ipw2200-1.0.1 directory and run:

# make
# make install

If this goes well you should be good to go, then:

Download the matching firmware package for this build, ipw2200-fw-2.2.tgz

Unpack the package into /lib/firmware

# zcat ipw2200-fw-2.2.tgz | tar xvf - -C /lib/firmware

Once you are done with that you should be able to modprobe ipw2200 into
the kernel:

# modprobe ipw2200

Once this is done the device should be registerd, check with 'dmesg'

You should be able to scan at this point as mentioned earlier...

If this works configure the device in /etc/modprobe.conf :

alias ethX ipw2200

Let me know how this goes...
