Remove the files from the 2.4 firmware package and put the ones from the
3.0 tarball in their place. That might already be enough - if your
compilation attempt failed then it should not have changed anything in
the kernel modules directory.

If your ipw2200 does not work after replacing the firmware and rebooting
then we need to see the output of these commands:

dmesg | grep -E 'ipw2200|ieee80211'

/sbin/modinfo ipw2200 | grep -E '^(filename|version):'

/sbin/modinfo ieee80211 | grep -E '^(filename|version):'

/sbin/modinfo ieee80211_crypt | grep -E '^(filename|version):'

/sbin/modinfo firmware_class | grep -E '^(filename|version):'
