ipw2200 works fine for me on 2.6.19.
Do you get any error messages when you execute the following (as root)?

rmmod ipw2200
modprobe ipw2200

I get this error all the time but it doesn't seem to be a problem.

Corvin: What  packages related to ipw are installed on your system?

pacman -Qs ipw

I will check it, but it wasn't problem until kernel upgrade. And it happens on both kernels. so something is wrong.

Re: problem ipw2200 upgrade to kernel 2.6.19 both std/beyond

About a year ago, ipw2200 was a module of its own until it made its way into the linux kernel. Since then you only need the firmware (ipw2200-fw) to use it. If you just updated the kernel from 2.6.18 to 2.6.19 this shouldn't have changed anything at all but if you updated from - say - 2.6.14 to 2.6.19 you'd have to change a few things.
