I'm not sure I understand your problem.

1. You're running some RAM based Linux distro on your Thinkpad
2. It has an Intel 2200bg card
3. You've gotten a new router
4. Now it doesn't connect

If you were connecting to the old router using WiFi, your card is
already working.

I'm guessing your new router is much newer than the old one. Is it an
"n" router? (I.e. supports 802.11n, WiFi speeds above 54Mbit/s) Some
of them default to "n" only operation and need a setting turned on to
allow "b" or "g" devices to connect.

I'd investigate the settings of the router and ensure that
compatibility for older ("g") devices is turned on.

Thanks,
