My ipw2200 pcie wifi card has 2 antennas... "Main" and "Aux". I think
either the firmware or the kernel/module is overriding my explicit
antenna module setting, after a while.
I mentioned about it a few days ago,

although I'm still seeing the problem (even after physically
disconnecting the Aux antenna/wire. (Even after disconnecting it, I
think it is still able to receive the 30KB/s signal, and I think the
card still switches to it eventually, against my wishes.))
