Have you tried to turn it off and on again?

Unless you're using wpa, then you might need the new version.  ipw2200 and madwifi seem to anyway.  Sync your abs and edit the pkgbuild for base/wireless_tools.  Delete every instance of pre9, run makepkg, and install.  Hopefully the devs will update the package soon in the repos.
