Install skipped packages w/o internet connection

Hi

I've installed a fresh Arch Linux (2010.05) on my machine and it uses a relatively wrong driver (Realetk 8169 instead of 8168; Realtek site provides separate drivers for these NICs).
Now I want to install the correct driver (8168), but when trying to build from sources, I get:

make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.33-ARCH/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
...

The "readme" of the drivers source says:

>>  <Requirements>
>>     - Kernel source tree (supported Linux kernel 2.6.x and 2.4.x)
>>     - For linux kernel 2.4.x, this driver supports 2.4.20 and latter.
>>     - Compiler/binutils for kernel compilation

As I know, "Compiler/binutils for kernel compilation" are there, but "Kernel source tree" probably is missing because I didn't check it when installing.
My questions are:
1) how can I find out if I have this "Kernel source tree" installed?
2) if it is missing, how can I install it having the Arch Linux CD and no internet connection? (basically it means: how can I install anything from the packages located on the "install CD"?)
