Do you want to use the wireless interface as an access point or as a client (station mode)?
Has it ever worked before with OpenWrt?
Check that you have the necessary firmware, should be ipw2200-bss.fw.

Please post /etc/config/network and /etc/config/wireless. Remember to redact any secrets they might contain.

ipw2200 does not support AP mode, and it's neither cfg80211 compliant ir nl80211 based, it's quite possible that netifd and the wpa_supplicant integration don't know how to talk to it.

sorry but how to check its ipw2200-bss.fw?

i install in Luci this pkgs
kmod-ipw2200 4.14.221+4.19.161-1-1
kmod-libipw 4.14.221+4.19.161-1-1

7

Ok! but maybe i can use Client mode?

No need to check anymore, I see the firmware is contained in the kmod-ipw2200 package which you have installed.
