Several thoughts and/or questions:
1) Do you need WPA, or just WEP (or no encryption at all)?
I use no encryption, or WEP (occasionally). For a WEP setup, I use:
iwconfig wireless key [1] ffff-ffff-ffff-ffff-ffff-ffff-ff
iwconfig wireless key [2] eeee-eeee-eeee-eeee-eeee-eeee-ee
iwconfig wireless key [3] dddd-dddd-dddd-dddd-dddd-dddd-dd
iwconfig wireless key [4] cccc-cccc-cccc-cccc-cccc-cccc-cc
iwconfig wireless key [1]
(where "wireless" is the name of my network interface)
2) I don't know if it'll make a difference, but the manpage for
iwconfig uses a lower-case s: when specifying the WEP key as a string.
Can you turn WEP off temporarily to test without it?
3) Which module version do you have? (modinfo ipw2200 will tell you)
Which kernel version?
4) Which firmware do you have? Where in your filesystem did you put
it?
5) Did you try using the module shipped with the kernel at all, or did
you just go for the (marked as outdated) procedure on that web page?

ipw2200 has a fully working open-source driver in the mainline
kernel. I can think of no reasons whatsoever for using ndiswrapper...
