Kernel source 2.6.11 in Sarge

2005-11-12 Thread Marcus Lundblad
I'm running Sarge and kernel 2.6.11 (installed from the package kernel-image-2.6.11-1-k7). I was going to compile the pwc module from the package pwc-source. But I couldn't find the source for 2.6.11 to be able to run make-kpkg. Or is it enough to install kernel-headers-2.6.11-1-k7? //Marcus
