You don't need any extra repositories, you just need to install the "right" 
package :)

(wrapped+indented to fit screen)
linux-source-2.6.10 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.10 with Ubuntu
                      patches
linux-source-2.6.11 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.11 with Ubuntu
                      patches

If you're running a default Ubuntu Hoary install, you need 
"linux-source-2.6.10" - but to check the version of your running kernel use:
uname -r

Once you've installed the source for your running kernel (assuming you only 
boot one kernel version), you may need to copy the kernel config 
to /usr/src/linux so the IPW2200 driver can build properly:
cp -v /boot/config-$(uname -r) /usr/src/linux/.config

The "-v" is just so you can double-check the correct config was copied over.

After that you should be all set. Good luck!

Cheers,

James
