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.)
