Well, depends on what you are trying to do.

If, as your original message said, you are patch the source, you need
the kernel source, which is named linux-source-X.X.X (X being the
version of the linux-image you have installed, probably 2.6.20).

OTOH, if the patch is merely trying to replace a given module, you only
need the kernel headers, which is named linux-header-X (where X is
either 386 or generic, depending on which kernel image you have
installed)

This really should be in the README file of the module you are trying to
install.
