If they are running Linux and distributing bunaries they have to give
you the source under GPL. That won't give you all the setup and
proprietary stuff they hang on it, or solve your immediate problem, but
useful to know. Be polite but persistent asking for source, on the
kernel and any GPL application tools.
Now, what exactly IS your problem? What isn't working to get you looking
at this in the first place.
