Also, just to make sure, those sources are Afaik, getting the new sources is the recommended way of upgrading to 3.3.

Certainly a 'make workd' takes some time, but it's worth it if your NIC does not work with an older release. -- Giorgos Keramidas, "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."
