I replaced SYSFS with ATTRS but I still get the same problem.
dmesg | grep ipw2200 says
ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.1.2kmq
ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2006 Intel Corporation
ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection
ipw2200: ipw2200-bss.fw request_firmware failed: Reason -2
ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: -2
ipw2200: failed to register network device
ipw2200: probe of 0000:01:0d.0 failed with error -5
I have firmware version 2.4, with kernel 2.6.18-3-686 which I think is correct?
best wishes

Maybe the problem is related to this (from udev's NEWS.Debian.gz):
udev (0.098-1) experimental; urgency=low
Starting with this release the rules files keys BUS, ID, SYSFS and DRIVER
have been deprecated. While rules using the old syntax will continue to
work, custom rules files using these keys should be updated.
For details please consult /usr/share/doc/udev/RELEASE-NOTES.gz .

It seems that SYSFS is now replaced by ATTRS; maybe your last upgrade
removed the support for the legacy keys.
