Kernel Sources

[Ken Ramey]

I have a NetGear WiFi card that I  have been using on a laptop by
"LinuxCertified" for a few years now.  Unfortunately, the card uses the
"Atheros" chip set and requires a kernel driver to be built in order to
work.  Lately, I have been unable to find the kernel sources for my
Fedora system in order to update the driver .  Can anyone suggest a
source for the sources?  Ideally, a "yum" repository so that the kernel
sources will track my kernel upgrades.  I am currently at 2.6.19-1.2895.fc6

Failing that, does anyone know of a WiFi card that works "out of the
box" with Fedora Core 6?

Either solution would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Have you installed kernel-devel package? It should be enough to compile
modules.

Atheros chipset should work "out of the box", or at least it was so for
me. Try livna repository. They have prebuild modules.
