Did as requested, I rebooted my computer (as mentioned the problem
occurs on a fresh bootup) and the scan results only shows my neighbours
unencrypted access point:
eth1 Scan completed :
Cell 01 - Address: 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
ESSID:"leonard"
Protocol:IEEE 802.11b
Mode:Master
Channel:11
Encryption key:off
Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s
Quality=46/100 Signal level=-73 dBm
Extra: Last beacon: 4029ms ago
My own encrypted access point, and any other encrypted access points do
not show up.
I'm running ipw2200 ver. 1.1.2, firmware 3.0 and ieee80211 ver. git-1.1.13
Thanks again
Monty

Even, if I try to force it to connect to my access point (by using the "connect to other wireless networks") it doesn't work. However, if I manually restart the NetworkManager daemon, it shows my access point and I can connect to it without a problem.
