Obtaining 2.6.8-1.541 source code

Some background - I'm running FC3-test on an Asus M6BN laptop. This
means the only option to get my modem and wireless card working are the
drivers from Linuxant, which means I need 16k driver stacks.
And that works fine - I'm currently running a patched 2.6.8.1 kernel,
based on the kernel.org tarball.
However, what I would prefer is to start with the source code and
.config used to build the current FC3 kernel.
`yum info kernel` shows 2.6.8-1.541 living in the `development` repository.
`yum info kernel-source` shows only a 2.6.6 kernel version, living in
`fedora-updates-testing`.
The 541 src RPM from fedora.redhat.com drops a vanilla tarball, and a
collection of patch & config files into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES, but
doesn't seem to give any guidance on combining those into a given kernel
version. I would assume it is important to at least apply the patches in
the correct order (which may or may not be alphabetical order).
Am I missing something obvious here?
Cheers,
Nick.
