I've tested this patch on my ipw2200 (inside an Acer TravelMate 292LMi).
While the original

is almost cosmetic, without any apparent ill-effects, applying that 
patch to kernel 3.2.1 (not exactly Debian's - e.g. I need acerhk/ 
dritek to disable rfkill for that card, but it should be close enough) 
results in this trace:

[acerhk is loaded much later than ipw2200 through /etc/modules, so it 
 can't interfere at this stage]

I can try to give it some further checking tomorrow.
