Hi,
Same problem on my Sony Vaio FS315H with a Centrino chip. Here is the dmesg output:

[39119.091408] ipw2200: Firmware error detected. Restarting.

And after a "sudo rmmod ipw2200 && sudo modprobe ipw2200":

I remember I had the same problem some years ago with a fresh install of an old Ubuntu version. But this problem was solved a long time ago and reappears with the 9.04 Ubuntu version.
