I can confirm that the firmware is missing. I just upgraded from a
working copy of Hardy (8.04.1) and lost my wireless connection.

dmesg:
[  681.287975] ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver,

I have linux-restricted-modules-generic installed, but no ipw2200-bss.fw
in /lib/firmware/2.6.27-7-generic

Copying from a previous kernel solves it:
$cp /lib/firmware/2.6.22-14-generic/ipw2200-bss.fw 
/lib/firmware/2.6.27-7-generic
