arch 0.7.1 pre1 kernel headers

i have read that the kernel headers are included with the kernel packages, which is very nice because i have a sagem fast 800 modem and i need to compile drivers for it. Except for when i installed arch a few days ago i tried to compile my module and just got kernel-sources cannot be found. Was there something with the headers in that packages or are they in a weird place? Can someone help i would really like to use arch linux.

Re: arch 0.7.1 pre1 kernel headers

Probably, for your module, the kernel headers are not enough; it needs the sources. You can get them on kernel.org. Make sure you grab the right version.  I'm guessing that you need to put them in /usr/src/linux-$(uname -r). I've never messed much with  kernel/modules stuff.
