you also need to add the adapter in system-config-network with "New" on the "Devices" tab.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Did you do this?
When I try to do this, I get these error messages on the command line:
(system-config-network:3061): libglade-WARNING **: Error loading image: Failed to open file '/usr/share/system-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/network.xpm': No such file or directory
(system-config-network:3061): libglade-WARNING **: could not convert string to type `GdkPixbuf' for property `logo'
I don't know how to add the right adapter because it won't allow me to select the right one or add a new one of the form Intel Coporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG. Also, it seems to have configured eth1 as an ethernet device whereas I want it to be a wireless device. So I'm absolutely baffled and don't know where to go from here - I may just have to stick with Windows XP for my wireless connection.

You seem to have some problems beyond just configuring the IPW2200. I just had occasion to do a fresh install of CentOS 5 on my IBM/Lenovo T42p laptop today (had been upgraded from C4 to C5beta to C5 for testing/QA purposes and was a bit of a mess), so I just went through configuring the IPW2200 from scratch.
There is no /usr/share/system-config-network/netconfpkg/gui/network.xpm on my system, but I do not see any errors starting system-config-network from the command line.
[root@hazard2 ~]# rpm -ql system-config-network | fgrep network.xpm /usr/share/system-config-network/pixmaps/network.xpm

I simply loaded ipw2200-firmware-3.0-3.nodist.rf from RPMforge, added "alias eth1 ipw2200" to /etc/modprobe.conf, rebooted, and the device showed up as eth1/Wireless in system-config-network (both the Devices and Hardware tabs). Listed as "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection" on the Hardware tab. (Comments about needing dkms in an earlier reply were off-base. That was apparently cobwebs from C4 days.)
If the IPW2200 is showing up as Ethernet rather than Wireless it is incorrect. You may have leftovers from earlier attempts to install from tarballs. Given that and the other system-level problems noted above, I'd try a fresh install before going to the Redmond OS. Only took about 2 hours here from booting for a network install through a fully-updated and configured Workstation/Development install with additional 3rd-party packages (including Octave from EPEL, octave-forge, Acrobat Reader, Sun Java, Adobe Flash, VMware, and WiFi - cheating a bit - I had other working systems to draw configs from and pre-built local packages for acroread, octave-forge, and Java).
Sorry you're having such problems.
Phil
