That's the 2100, not the 2200. The 2200 module only seems to support extra debugging output.

Just beware that the in-kernel version is a couple of revisions old (it is the 1.0.0 version), and will require ipw2200-firmware-2.2. Some people have reported problems getting the driver to work with their cards, but it works fine for me. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Just an instinctive answer - if they're in the stable kernel, then go for it. I'd try 'em see if they work. Assuming they do you might as well keep using them.
