kernel source for warty

I am building a vpn client and had some questions concerning the
kernel source/headers for warty.

Here is some output from my vpn client install script:

In order to build the VPN kernel module, you must have the kernel
headers for the version of the kernel you are running.

For RedHat 6.x users these files are installed in /usr/src/linux by default
For RedHat 7.x users these files are installed in /usr/src/linux-2.4 by default
For Suse 7.3 users these files are installed in
/usr/src/linux-2.4.10.SuSE by default

Directory containing linux kernel source code []

The first place I looked was in /usr/src, but that only contains the
rpm directory. I then checked dselect to see if anything was offered.
I could only find:

linux-kernel-headers 
Version: 2.5.999-test7-bk-16

Since I am running the warty 4.10 kernel (2.6.8.1-3-386) this doesn't
seem like the correct route to go. Would I be fine downloading
source/headers from kernel.org or one of its mirrors, or do I need the
exact sources/headers used with warty?

Any help would be appreciated,
Gol
