Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Short version:
If you disable "Wireles Network" with network-manager
it seems to set:
iwconfig eth1 essid on
powertop report that ipw2200 have about 29 wps.
but should:
iwconfig eth1 essid off channel 0
this will put ipw2200 to powersave mode and reduce wakeups count to 0.
Long version:
After Ubutnu init=1. Network-manager is not started. ipw2200 enabled but don't use any power.

i think ipw2200 kernel is loaded with associate=1 ... can you try to load it with =0 and see if you still get the power-consumption?
