Wow! You made my day:

ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.2.2kmr
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation
ipw2200 0000:06:05.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 20
ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
firmware: using built-in firmware ipw2200-bss.fw

Thanks!
