Kernel-source

[dersmi]

I need to recompile my kernel, to add the USB Sagem 800 modem drivers. Where can I find the kernel source? Ubuntu is great!! I just want to get online now.

sudo apt-cache search kernel-source

That should give you some choices

Where is 2.6.8? 2.6.9? I can see no 2.6.9 since the installed kernel is at 2.6.8, but I would expect sources for the running packaged kernel.

My sources.list includes:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main restricted
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty main restricted
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty universe multiverse
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty-security main restricted universe multiverse


Do folks building custom kernels usually just go to the usual places? (kernel.org)

Is there anything customized in the Ubuntu kermel source package? Perhaps the .config?

thanks,

It's linux-source-2.6.8

for the ubuntu kernel.

What's the difference between linux-source and kernel-source?

I would have never thought to search for linux-source. Really. ](*,)
