Need help, patching kernel...

Hi i want to patch the kernel with the new bcm43xx injection module... for my wireless card:

Patching the kernel

    *
      Download the bcm43xx inject_nofcs patch for the 2.6.20 kernel fromhere.
    *
      Place the patch in your kernel sources directory
    *
      Run 'patch -p1 -i bcm43xx-injection-linux-2.6.20.patch'.

This patch may not apply directly and may require that you modify the bcm43xx_main.c (located in $linux/wireless/net/drivers/bcm43xx/ manually)

    *
      Recompile your modules with 'make modules' followed by 'make modules_install'.
    *
      The module should now be ready to use for injection.
    *
      Remember to reload the kernel driver or reboot your system before trying to inject packets.

But i cant patch..

[root@Myb0x Desktop]# patch -p1 -i bcm43xx-injection-linux-2.6.20.patch 
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

Have you changed the directory to kernel root?

Have you also got the full kernel source from kernel.org?
