     I'll be happy to test with the upstream kernel. I took a look at
that page when I filed the bug report, and at that point it was a bit
too ambiguous for me, I needed more of a step-by-step. I just took
another look at it and it makes more sense now, so I'll give it a
shot.

     Also, some new information... the problem seems to be varying
over time; sometimes it's nearly impossible to get/stay connected,
other times it seems to work okay. I'm beginning to suspect it has a
lot to do with the time of day, which means it's either sunspots or
that the amount of wireless network traffic in my neighborhood goes up
at certain times and provokes ipw2200 activity (repeated handshakes
maybe?).
