    Kernel Source for Simply Mepis

    I'm trying to get a friend's wifi card to work with Mepis but I can't install the driver without the kernel source. Where is the kernel source in Mepis? I have looked in /usr/src/ but there only appears to be patches. Does Mepis not have the kernel source? I can't find a download for the exact kernel (2.6.10) at kernel.org. Is there another place to download it?

    ahhhhhh

    After I unzipped th file into /usr/src/ it cam out as linux-2.6.10 so the full file name is /usr/src/linux-2.6.10 When type I this file into the terminal when instructed, it says it can't find it or the source tree is corrupted. How can I resolve this?

    Thanks
