The drivers (kernel modules) ship with the kernel. So if you have the kernel source, you have the driver/module source too.

Go to Kernel.org and grab the latest source code. Then untar it somewhere (usually in /usr/src/.) When this is done, you will have all of the kernel's source code in folders under /usr/src/$KERNEL_VERSION.

The modules folder is in there somewhere, you will find it.
