	  This option will re-use the same kernel sources as the one
	  that have been used for the kernel headers of the
	  cross-compiling toolchain. Having the same version for the

	  Note: you cannot use this option to select a _longterm_ 2.6
	  kernel, because these kernels are not located at the standard
	  URL at kernel.org. Instead, select "Custom tarball" and
	  specify the right URL directly.

	  This option allows to specify a URL pointing to a kernel source
	  tarball. This URL can use any protocol recognized by Buildroot,
	  like http://, ftp://, file:// or scp://.

	  When pointing to a local tarball using file://, you may want to
