That's source code for the kernel module. You can put it anywhere,
(traditionally /usr/src or ~/src)
You'll only need them though if you're building a new kernel. Are you?
If so you might consider building a 2.6.14.x kernel which has the
ipw2200 already included.
Or if you're planning to use a packaged kernel from Ubuntu I think they
have ipw drivers in there patchset.
So unless I'm guessing wrong at what you're up to I don't think you'll
need those files.
