Sorry for the misunderstanding. You don't need the kernelsources, it's just a
convenient place the find the info on the tuners. I included a list of that
info in this mail, below. But you can find that with google, too.
Just downloading the kernel source and unpacking is enough, you do not need to
compile anything, just a bit of reading. It is too big to include in this
mail I'm afraid.

No need for compiling (though it is easy), just modules.conf tweaks...
