You might want to run wpa_cli and type scan, wait a few seconds, then
scan_results, and see what access points it finds.
I've had some goofy issues with the ipw2200 + wpa_supplicant, such as
authenticating twice for no reason, and not reauthenticating, not roaming
correctly, and a bunch of other stuff.
Good luck,
