Your driver is too old. It does not correctly announce it's WPA capability to NM (via wext), so NM thinks that your card does not support WPA. Easiest solution: upgrade to 2.6.16 which is currently in unstable. Should work with ipw2200 out of the box. Please let me know if this fixes your problem. Cheers, Michael
