If you want your ipw2200 to work in monitor mode you'll have to 
uncomment the "monitor-mode" section out in the kernel module. I think 
you'll find it in drivers/net/wireless/ somewhere in the kernel source. 
I've got my card working in monitor mode using this method. I'm sure 
google knows better though.
