You might find WPA easier with a later version of the driver.  I haven't 
done it yet, though (naughty me).

The version of IPW2200 driver in (k)ubuntu is old:

$ strings 
/lib/modules/2.6.10-5-686/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ipw2200/ipw2200.ko 
| grep ^version
version=0.19

It's caused me grief on my Dell 8600, crashing every couple of days.  Is 
fixed in breezy: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7782

I couldn't wait that longer and rolled my own:  http://ipw2200.sf.net.
