Did you remove the drivers for your wired card when you uninstalled?
Or are they both modular, and getting loaded in different orders?

In Linux, ethN is assigned on a first-come first-served basis, so if
the ipw2200 drivers get loaded before your wired eithernet drivers,
then your wireless card will be on eth0 instead of eth1.
