I copied all the /etc/sysconfig/network/ directories to a backup location, just in case. Then I used the GUI tool (system-config-network) to delete all references to my ipw2200. Then I saved those settings. Then I went to the Devices tab and clicked the New button on the tool bar and went through the wizard and it detected my ipw2200 and such and I was able to configure it. (For some reason if you go to the Hardware tab and click New, you get a series of dialogs that don't list the ipw2200 driver, go figure...) It wanted to call the wireless interface dev4960 so I let it -- it was called eth1 on my system before. I have no idea why it picked the name dev4960. But after all that, it now works. I rebooted and it seems to continue to work after rebooting.
If I was going to debug this, I'd look into where the dev4960 name came from and see if maybe there's a race condition between programs competing to automatically configure wireless ethernet.

Still no luck. Thanks for the tip.
