Comment:
Yes, WPA works.  IMHO, a README is missing somewhere.  wpa_supplicant in
breezy needs to be called with -D ipw (use WPA for ipw driver), but now
it should be called using -D wext (use WPA for wireless extensions).
Because WAP was included in kernel 2.6.13 and ipw2200 doesn't have any
WPA code because of that (is not needed anymore).

By the way, WPA works.   But not DHCP over the wireless using WPA.  I
get the following message for each request:

ipw2200: Unknown notification: subtype=40,flags=0xa0,size=40

DHCP works fine in a open wireless network, but not when WPA is active.
