Other than this issue, I sometimes have a disconnect where I have to unload and reload the driver, but that is rare (happened 5 or 6 times in the past year, I can't reproduce it). Beyond this, I am running a fresh feisty install later upgraded to gutsy and the ipw2200 works perfectly in every situation I've managed to throw at it. I have never tried ad hoc networking with it but I've never had a problem connecting to a network.
