Intel 2200 bg on Thinkpad T40

[Gumon]

I have an old ThinkPad T40 2374, founded on e-bay with no OS and no wireless card and I ended installing Ubuntu Karmic and bought an Intel Pro/wireless 2200 bg (Calexico) but the wireless can not find an IP. I am using a mac address instead of wep or wpa.

Can anybody help me to sort this out please. I am attaching a txt file with the results of: cat /var/log/syslog | grep -i network, iwconfig, lshw -C network, dmesg | grep ipw, iwlist scan. In that order.

Thank you.

I could not manage to upload the txt file so instead:
