That would be the kernel source tree. Grab it from
www.<countrycode>.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.2/linux-2.2.18.tar.bz2, or
install the kernel-source package. If you aren't going to recompile the
kernel to suit your tastes, there might be a kernel-doc package which just
has linux/Documentation, but not the rest of the source. If not, then just
get the whole tree.
A lot of really good docs on getting the kernel to do stuff is in
linux/Documentation.

If it's PCI, lspci will find it (independently of whether any drivers are
loaded for it. PCI is good, because there is a standard for scanning the
bus and finding config info). (If you don't have lspci, you look at
the obsolete /proc/pci. lspci interprets the binary data in the new
/proc/bus/pci interface.)
