they do significant progress with 2200, when I last time check this url,
i have found in FAQ only this:

-----
Does this driver support the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG adapter?

NO. The 2200BG adapter is different from the 2100. The ipw driver will
not work with 2200BG adapters.

(it is still in FAQ), 

but they has good news:

First association to a 802.11g access point and first packets
sent/received with the iwg driver! There is still a lot of work to do
but I hope I'll be able to release a first beta for the beginning of
next week! There will be less pre-releases than for ipw, the first
version of iwg will already support WEP and radiotap! The first version
of iwg will support FreeBSD-CURRENT and NetBSD-CURRENT. 

September 04, 2004
I've made a lot of progress in writing a driver for Intel® PRO/Wireless
2200BG and 2915ABG network adapters! It will probably be another driver
(named iwg?) because there are some important differences between the
2100 and the 2200BG/2915ABG adapters that makes it impossible to merge
into a single driver. The way the firmware is downloaded to the adapter
is completely different (2200BG/2915ABG adapters use DMA transfers) and
the structures are different too. 
-----

So, I hope driver will be available in near future.

Also, I hope driver will be commited into FreeBSD-CURRENT
