Use apt-cache .. but you have to spell it correctly...
apt-cache search kernel-headers-2.6.7-1-386

Thanks for the reply. The missing 's' was just a silly
'typo', due to over-tiredness.
'apt-cache' shows nothing (I don't really understand why
it should).
Then you don't understand apt-cache.
I agree, I use it but I don't fully understand it.
From man apt-cache
<-- quote mode on -->
apt-cache performs a variety of operations on APT's package cache.
apt-cache does not manipulate the state of the system but does provide
operations to search and generate interesting output from the package
metadata.

If you have up to date package lists, which includes stable, testing
& unstable, you would see it. Your OP didn't mention what you were
running so.....
I did say I am running Sid (I also have Sarge installed, but only
with a 2.4 kernel whereas Sid has the 2.6.7-1 kernel - both installs
are updated and upgraded twice a week).
I am running testing and apt-cache does show what you are looking for
is available.
VT1 root-3-Buddy:~# apt-cache search kernel-headers-2.6.7-1-386
kernel-headers-2.6.7-1-386 - Linux kernel headers 2.6.7 on 386
Sorry, but 'apt-cache search kernel-headers-2.6.7-1-386 gives me
no output in either installation, so clearly the cache contains
no information on the package.
I want to try compiling a wireless driver on Sid which
has a 2.6.7-1-386 kernel, and just can't find the
kernel-headers for download - I've found
2.6.7-1-386_2.6.7-2-386, but I doubt if that will work unless
I change my kernel. I know I could compile say a 2.6.8
kernel by hand, getting around things that way, but I
would like to try using the kernel-headers.
So include testing and unstable sites in your sources.list and you to
will be able to apt-get the kernel-headers-2.6.7-1-386 package.
I do have unstable sites in my Sid sources.list, particularly 'main',
which according to Andres Salomon's posting to debian-devel-changes
on 2nd July 2004 should cover the package in
'pool/main/k/kernel-image-2.6.7-i386/kernel-headers-2.6.7-1-386 etc'.
What is happening has me baffled.
If, by your question, "Where can I find the above for download" you
meant which site, then I would have suggested you try Google.
Yes I did mean that, and I tried hours of googling which gave
hundreds of references but none which pointed to a download site
I could use.
:-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-)
