There is at least a 2.4 kernel package available for Debian Woody. Just do
apt-cache search kernel-image and choose one suitable for your machine. A
2.4 kernel is probably recent enough, unless the assignment is

2.6.

Install the kernel-source package corresponding to the kernel you are
running. Then look at /usr/src.
