To answer my own question.  It is possible to use the ipw2200 in Master
mode using the ip2200-ap driver and firmware.  It doesn't work all that
well so I just resorted to using an onhand card that has the prism2
chipset on the PCCard bus.

The end goal is to share a GPRS connection with a few wifi clients.
