I don't understand, now it's working with kernel 2.6.23 and debug
enabled. However, I find several strange lines in dmesg:

pw2200: U ipw_best_network Network 'aleblanc42 (00:1a:70:9a:3c:be)'
excluded because of privacy mismatch: off != on.
ipw2200: U ipw_wx_set_essid Setting ESSID: 'aleblanc42' (10)
ipw2200: U ipw_best_network Network 'aleblanc42 (00:1a:70:9a:3c:be)' is
a viable match.
ipw2200: U ipw_best_network Network 'SpeedTouch646432
(00:14:7f:b3:ab:6d)' excluded because of ESSID mismatch: 'aleblanc42'.
ipw2200: U ipw_best_network Network 'BGC_58 (00:12:bf:26:5c:af)'
excluded because of ESSID mismatch: 'aleblanc42'.
ipw2200: U ipw_best_network Network 'SpeedTouchD499AA
(00:90:d0:df:dc:cf)' excluded because of ESSID mismatch: 'aleblanc42'.
ipw2200: U ipw_associate_network Assocation attempt: 'aleblanc42',
channel 6, 802.11g [12], long[:long], enc=on (open) key=1.
ipw2200: U ipw_associate_network associating: 'aleblanc42' 00:1a:70:9a:3c:be
ipw2200: I ipw_rx_notification authenticated: 'aleblanc42' 00:1a:70:9a:3c:be
ipw2200: I ipw_rx_notification associated: 'aleblanc42' 00:1a:70:9a:3c:be
ipw2200: U ipw_wx_get_essid Getting essid: 'aleblanc42'
ipw2200: U ipw_wx_get_essid Getting essid: 'aleblanc42'
ipw2200: U ipw_wx_get_essid Getting essid: 'aleblanc42'

So what does the "privacy mismatch" mean ? It looks that after several
attempts, I can finally connect to my network (aleblanc42).
