hmm...likely the udev thing is the issue.

Re: Wlan won´t work since last update

I downgrades the ipw2200-modul and now it works well again.
Are there any important changes between the old and the new Wlandriver??

Re: Wlan won´t work since last update

Nov 10 2004  Changes in 0.13

    * Modified SW/HW rf_kill interaction functionality. See README.ipw2200 for details on current usage.
    * Fixed #239: iwconfig eth1 rts off/auto not supported
    * Fixed problem with not being able to associate with non-broadcast ESSID APs
    * Changed default temporal timeout for scan age to 15s
    * Changed MAC2STR and MACSTR to MAC_FMT and MAC_ARG
    * Fixed problem with scan results not expiring
    * Fixed a bug in ad-hoc support (#295) that prevented the creation of a new ad-hoc network
    * Reduced interval of scan requests to 1/10th second (vs. 5 seconds)
    * Modified scan logic to alternate between directed and active scanning when an ESSID is defined. This should improve AP to AP roaming via ESSID selection.
    * Increased dwell time on directed scans to 100ms from 20ms
    * Fixed fragmentation for both wep and with no encryption
    * Fixed wireless stats reporting to indicate that the noise level is invalid. This version of the firmware does not provide noise statistics.
    * Fixed a bug that prevented 'iwpriv ethX set_mode N' from working correctly
