  You might be right. I increased debugging of ipw2100 to 0x00000007 and 
that's what I found in the kernel log:

   After that WPA-PSK link does not work any longer. Is there anything 
that could be done about it? By the way is it possible that 
wpa_supplicant could handle such situations and recover automatically 
after such situation?
  I'll send the bug report to the ipw2100 team.
