I had the same problem with ipw2200 once. I lost the hardware before I 
had a chance to dig into it, but then noticed ipw3945 on my laptop doing 
the same thing.

I've now narrowed it down a bit further: if i load ipw3945/ipw3945d and 
associate to a network in managed mode before switching to monitor mode, 
  then when monitoring I only see about 1/4 of all traffic.

But, if I load the driver and go straight into monitor mode, things are 
peachy. Maybe the same thing is happening for ipw2200?
