You're looking for the IPW2200 drivers at http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net, and 
it looks like you need a firmware file from 
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php

You should be able to build and install the module with just a few command 
lines, then copy the firmware to (usually) /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware

What distribution/kernel are you using?

What errors are you seeing?

Where did you get the kernel module? (Debian has a source package, other 
distributions should as well.)
