Kernel source not found. (can't install network card drivers)

I've had no luck with help on linuxquestions so I figured I'd try here. I'm using debian etch.

The problem is that I can not install my network card because it says:

Code:

Makefile:62: *** Linux kernel source not found.  Stop.

I have the kernel-headers installed.

I've looked all over the internet for similar posts and there was never a solution for such an unbelievably common problem that EVERYONE who's network card is not recognized by Debian will get.

There's a lot of similar posts, just never a solution.

Currently I'm coming to the conclusion that the file it wants doesn't actually exist. If it does can someone link me the it? Because I've gone through too much bandwidth trying 'stuff' that people think might work.

The file it says ( kernel-source-2.6.18-5-686 ) is only accessible by apt-get? because I've looked everywhere and it's obviously the one I need.

Thanks.
