Kernel patching - iwlwifi

As I noticed that Intel 5100 WiFi doesn't support injection by default, I started looking around in the aircrack forums and luckily came across this.

While I understand there's some patching involved I don't know how and I don't know where.
All I know is that I can't find neither of the mentioned files on my computer (iwl-agn.c, iwl-sta.c, iwl-tx.c) and that I didn't install anything apart from the latest kernel to get my 5100 to work, with 2.6.27 arch chose and installed iwlagn automatically.

Keep in mind that I have no patching experience, but I do know how to follow instructions.

From what I can tell in that thread, they're source files for the kernel. You can recompile the kernel using ABS, search the wiki for custom kernel.

Yes, the Arch kernel package does not include the kernel source code.
