You might not actually need the source code at all. Most properly-
written drivers can be built on FC3 using the build data supplied with
the kernel RPM at: /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build

Otherwise you can follow the guide in the release notes (open
file:///usr/share/doc/fedora-release-3/RELEASE-NOTES-x86-en.html and
search for "kernel source code"). You can find the version of the kernel
you are running using the command "uname -r".
