You can download source and firmware and either compile the ipw2200 sourece in chroot on Thecus or compile using the mtwk version of gcc on your laptop following website instructions on ipw2200.sourceforge.net/ , then make a thecus module that installs ipw2200.ko and the firmware to /lib/firmware on thecus.

How can i build on the nas?
There is no "make" utility.

[appleman1234]

You either install thecus modules that provide a debian build environment which you will have to make or you install a chroot environment and chroot into it, so you have a build environment.

Or you can just compile the drivers on your laptop using the build enviroment provided in the rpm.

The default installation may have an incorrect/defective driver installed.
The corrective action is:

- use Windows update Vista Applet to download updates
- ensure the "Optional" update for the 2200BG driver is checked
- install the updates; restart
- use Device Manager to Update the driver > Browse My Computer > Let Me Pick
From A List
- There will be two identical selections for the 2200BG; we had to click the
top selection.
- restart

Until the driver is replaced, adjacent 802.11 networks and devices will be
impacted, even if the Vista computer is not configured for access to a
particular wireless network. Typical symptoms on the adjacent computers
include the network connection going up and down every two or three minutes
as the signal is dropped and re-acquired.

An alternate action is to disable the wireless adapter in Device Manager
until the correct driver may be installed.

We have only verified this on a IBM T42 notebook, and only with 802.11 "G",
although it is not inconceivable this issue is present with other computer
makes and models.
