Just follow the instructions, reboot and it will be working...

Note: You may not see the wireless indicator lit, but as soon as you
connect through Network Manager, it will light-up...

Are you sure that's all necessary? I have a ipw2200 system which just
worked with the new kernel without doing any of that.

It seems to work reliably enough out of the box, but there are some useful patches in the latest drivers. You can probably live without them in most cases, but if NetworkManager gives trouble, they are worth a try.
