It can also happen the other way around, so that it works only for
-generic, but not -386, see bug 158858.

It appears the problem is the missing firmware.
However, I cannot confirm this with current Hardy:
$ find /lib/firmware/2.6.24-11-386 /lib/firmware/2.6.24-11-generic -name 
ipw2200\*
/lib/firmware/2.6.24-11-386/ipw2200-bss.fw
/lib/firmware/2.6.24-11-386/ipw2200-sniffer.fw
/lib/firmware/2.6.24-11-386/ipw2200-ibss.fw
/lib/firmware/2.6.24-11-generic/ipw2200-bss.fw
/lib/firmware/2.6.24-11-generic/ipw2200-sniffer.fw
/lib/firmware/2.6.24-11-generic/ipw2200-ibss.fw

Is there anything that removes the files? (I've just installed linux-
ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-11-386 to see if there's a difference)

So, SKAL, your issue _is_ related, of course. Sorry for the confusion.

Please try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-ubuntu-
modules-2.6.24-11-generic", the firmware files should be included there.
