Indeed! or access it directly. However, none is detected:

lo        no wireless extensions.

/dev/eth  no wireless extensions.

I guess it is not supported and/or I am missing firmware. I checked here:
https://wiki.debian.org/ipw2200

2915ABG is apparently the newer 2200 which needs firmware.:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/firmware-ipw2x00

"non-free" is not available for the HURD: does it make any sense to try 
install it? I remember that some years ago firmware loading was 
impossible. What apt-sources would suited in case?
