Oops...  typo.  I am in fact running kernel 2.6.16, despite saying
2.6.15 in my previous message.  :-)

I'm using a custom-configured kernel built from Debian's
linux-source-2.6.16 package.  Just to be safe, I recompiled it today
since linux-source-2.6.16 was updated a few days ago to include the
2.6.16.2 upstream release, but it didn't help.  Still no WPA.

Interestingly, if I plug in a prism54 card instead of using my built-in
ipw2200, I *do* get a password prompt with that, when connecting to the
same wireless networks.  I still can't actually connect, though, because
the security dropdown still only has WEP modes for its choices.  That
might not be NM's fault in this case, though -- I don't know whether the
prism54 driver actually supports WPA.  (In the past, it didn't, and I
had to use ndiswrapper, but that was before the kernel had wext, and I
haven't tried it again since then.)  But the fact that I get a password
prompt with prism54 and an error message with ipw2200 is interesting.

I'm still using version 1.0.8 of the ipw2200 driver, because that's the
version that kernel 2.6.16 includes.  There have been some releases
after that -- ipw2200.sourceforge.net has versions up to 1.1.2 -- but
they aren't available in either the kernel source tree or the separate
ipw2200-source package.  I could try applying one of those if necessary,
though I'm reluctant to do it if it doesn't seem likely to help, since
it would mean more kernel rebuilds.
