I think I've just answered my own question:

# apt-show-versions | grep kernel-source
> kernel-source-2.6.8 2.6.8-16 installed: No available version in archive

I guess the replacement for the "kernel-source-*" packages is 
"linux-image-*".

Does anyone know a good site which runs through the make menuconfig 
options for a newbie? I still need to know which options are needed for 
the ipw2200 and WPA/WEP.

James.
