Wednesday night, I powered down the laptop and Thursday morning I
restarted it. The error messages showed up. So suspending is not the
issue. I then added that line, and rmmod/modprobed the driver. After
running "service network stop/service network start", the network
worked, and the messages have gone away.
Thank you.

Kewl! Well, having patience is occasionally the proper procedure. :-)

Great. So when 1833 comes down the chute I can remove that line?

Using kernel-2.6.15-1.1831_fC4 and putting:
options ipw2200 hwcrypto=0 in the /etc/modprobe.conf.
the wireless connection fails every time. Without this option the
connection works. Go figure.
