I have resolved the bug by upgrading to latest version of the gentoo-dev-sources and ipw2200. Now I am using mm-sources, and the emerge fails with a compilation error (something about wrong number of arguments of some pci_* functions that have a different prototype in mm-sources). A possible patch for the module (v0.12) is available at http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/patches/ipw2200-0.12-pci-fix.patch I will try to patch the ipw2200 module at a later time.
