(Note: the NB is connected becaus I configured the connection once, but I couldn't create a new one.)
If I persude nm to use wext nm-tool reports:
- Device: eth1 [SERVANTS-WLAN] -------

And that's how I configured the connection in the first place.
Perhaps this could be fixed just by disabling nl80211 in ipw2200?
