try the following:

jim@keelie $ source /etc/bash_completion

jim@keelie $ modprobe -v snd-inte[tab][tab]
snd-intel8x0   snd-intel8x0m   snd-interwave   snd-interwave-stb


I have to hit tab twice to get a list.  Replace snd-inte with any module
you have.  I didn't compile ipw2200.  You could also just try:

jim@keelie $ modprobe[space][tab][tab]
Display all 385 possibilities? (y or n)

Do you get something like the above?
