Here are some outputs which i would like to share with you.

fawad@Ubuntu-01:~$ lsmod | grep ieee80211
ieee80211              38504  1 ipw2200
ieee80211_crypt         5504  2 ieee80211,hostap

I think the problem was with the firmware, when i updated my formware
to v2.4 everything is now working fine.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Regards,
Fawad.
