[beagleboard] Where do I get the Kernel Source Code?

I am still really new at this. I am trying to get usbip to work for
beagleboard ubuntu and it says i need to compile the staging drivers.
In order to do this it says that I need the source code for the
kernel.

After running 'uname -a' it shows I am running 2.6.32.7-x7.1 version
of the kernel.

Where can I get the source code for this?

Download the 2.6.32 kernel and 2.6.32.7 patch.. Along with the
patch-set and defconfig uploaded here:
http://rcn-ee.net/deb/kernel/beagle/ for the same distro you are using
(jaunty, karmic or lucid)..

Btw, after downloading all that, tweak the defconfig with this change
to build the usbip stuff..

-# CONFIG_USB_IP_COMMON is not set
+CONFIG_USB_IP_COMMON=m
+CONFIG_USB_IP_VHCI_HCD=m
+CONFIG_USB_IP_HOST=m

Okay, so I tried to patch the 2.6.32 files by following the info on
http://www.howtoforge.com/kernel_compilation_ubuntu
I keep getting an error where patch cannot rename something in the /
tmp directory to Documentation?

So, what am i doing wrong?

Also is all of this really necessary to get the drivers to work?

Well... I've already enabled them shortly after our first conversation...

Sure just use the latest as they'll make a bootable kernel... (None
are really suitable, i've just had better luck with Angstrom's cross
compiler over the years....)
