Well, this is not 100% if when the card fires two consecutive
interrupts. Though unlikely, it's better to protect early than seeing
some "weird" bugs one day. I proposed attached patch. If you can help to
test, that will be appreciated (I cannot see the lockdep warning on my
box somehow).

With this patch, a new promiscuous mode is enabled. If the module is loaded
with the rtap_iface=1 module parameter, two interfaces will be created
(instead of just one).
The second interface is prefixed 'rtap' and provides received 802.11 frames
on the current channel to user space in a radiotap header format.
Example usage:
% modprobe ipw2200 rtap_iface=1
% iwconfig eth1 essid MyNetwork
% dhcpcd eth1
% tcpdump -i rtap0
If you do not specify 'rtap_iface=1' then the rtap interface will
not be created and you will need to turn it on via:
% echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rtap_iface
You can filter out what type of information is passed to user space via
the rtap_filter sysfs entry. Currently you can tell the driver to
transmit just the headers (which will provide the RADIOTAP and IEEE
802.11 header but not the payload), to filter based on frame control
type (Management, Control, or Data), and whether to report transmitted
frames, received frames, or both.
The transmit frame reporting is based on a patch by Stefan Rompf.
Filters can be get and set via a sysfs interface. For example, set the
filter to only send headers (0x7), don't report Tx'd frames (0x10), and
don't report data frames (0x100):
% echo 0x117 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/*/rtap_filter
All your packets are belong to us:
% tethereal -n -i rtap0

This patch modifies the driver to support the ipw2200-fw-3.0 image format.
The 3.0 fw image does not add any new capabilities, but as a result of
image format changes, it should fix two problems experienced by users:
1) Race conditions with the request_firmware interface and udev/hotplug
are improved as only a single request_firmware call is now required to
load the firmware and microcode (vs. 3 separate calls previously)
2) The monitor mode firmware (sniffer) is now packaged with the correct
boot image so it can now function without frequent restarts.
Note: Once you apply this patch, you will also need to upgrade your
firmware image to the 3.0 version available from:

Set a meaningful silence threshold value (replacing our previous "0"
default), which gets rid of the gratuitous "Link deterioration"
notifications that we've been receiving from firmware. This
notification feature tells the driver information to help it determine
when to pre-emptively restart the firmware/ucode in anticipation of
firmware errors! But since setting this new threshold, I haven't seen
any such notifications. At least it keeps the logs a little less busy.

The patch roll back the change we made to support for the ability to
start/stop independent Tx queues within a single net device in order to
support 802.11e QoS. We need to be able to indicate to the upper layers
that packets of a given priority can not be sent any more without halting
transmission of all packets, and without rescheduling high priority packets
down to the next priority level.
So we return NETDEV_TX_BUSY in this case and rely on the stack would
take care of rescheduling... which it apparently does immediately and
consumes the CPU. This caused the ksoftirqd kernel thread consuming almost
all the CPU...
To put the code back to the way it was before we made these changes we
put the call netif_queue_stop back in ipw_tx_skb. This effectively
disables multiple priority based transmit queues for 802.11e, but given
that its broken anyway...

As stated in a comment, the ipw2200 driver uses several routines that
were borrowed from ieee80211_geo.c. As ipw2200 requires ieee80211,
these routines are duplicated. The attached patch, which is sent
as an attachment to preserve whitespace, converts ipw2200.c to use
the ieee80211 versions, thereby reducing bloat in both the source
and binary.
