Try running the following commands. Let us know if something comes up.

    # iwconfig wlan0
    # iwlist wlan0 scan

The first command shows the current configuration of the first wireless
LAN interface, the second initiates a scan to find access points and
ad-hoc cells in range (assuming broadcast signals are enabled).

Running

    $ dmesg

might also help. Check to see if you get any kernel messages about the
availability of the wireless interface after the ipw2200 module was
loaded.
