Am I wrong to say that the .src.rpm is actually the kernel Source in rpm
format???
I haven't actually unpacked one before.. I use the ones from kernel.org

No!!! (sorry) You want the kernel-source RPM. This is a copy of the
kernel sources so that you can build the driver against them. If you
installed off the CDs then you can get the kernel-source RPM from one of
those. Installing .src.rpm will put a bunch of files in
/usr/src/redhat and they're of no use to you.
