There are Debian-specific instructions in the IPW2200 docs.

I am a newbee mate. But all I can say it that you may need a firmware.

Check this thread. I had a similar issue.

Hi, I tried using the info from the url, but I got these messages (below). Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrongly or what I have forgotten to do?

Thanks!
