well, not that this necessarily will solve your tun make problem but i
have downloaded kernel source simply from 

http://packages.ubuntu.com/linux-source-2.6
(then click on names that contain the search string)

if you need a different ver, try 

http://packages.debian.org/linux-source-2.6 
i think they are probably quite similar
