[SOLVED] Where can I browse the Arch kernel source?
I tried to look for the kernel source code under /usr/src/linux-3.4.9-1-ARCH but there's only a binary file (an image?) vmlinuz in there. I wanted to look for drivers concerning usb for fun, but I can't seem to find the excact location of the kernel source code.

I think arch uses a vanilla kernel with only a patch that can be found here:

Re: [SOLVED] Where can I browse the Arch kernel source?
Soo, I can't browse the kernel source code on my system then?
On my system, /usr/src/linux-3.4.9-1-ARCH/kernel/ appears to have the browsable source. I was under the impression that that was pretty standard, but I am not actually sure, so if that's not on your rig, I am unsure of where you'd go.
All the best,

Re: [SOLVED] Where can I browse the Arch kernel source?
Sure you can, but it'll pretty much be the same as if you downloaded the code from kernel.org. You can use makepkg and the ABS to easily get the source and Arch's patch(es) on your computer.
Edit: If you have linux-headers installed, then the path HalosGhost refers to has the headers, not the full source

Re: [SOLVED] Where can I browse the Arch kernel source?
If you are looking for a device driver you can type modinfo <module> and it will give the path that you can expect to find it.
If you want the C source for the kernel, most likely you will have to download the entire kernel from kernel.org and for the package to be manageable ABS would be a good choice.
I may have to CONSOLE you about your usage of ridiculously easy graphical interfaces...
Look ma, no mouse.

Re: [SOLVED] Where can I browse the Arch kernel source?
Since 89c51 has already pointed you at the source for the patch, the rest of the kernel source can be gotten from kernel.org in it's entirety. Happy browsing.

Re: [SOLVED] Where can I browse the Arch kernel source?
An easy way to view it is:
pacman -S abs (If ABS is not already installed).
sudo abs
cp -r /var/abs/core/linux/ linux
cd linux
makepkg --nobuildOffline
