What I do is getting the kernel source from Debian (or upstream
www.kernel.org) and then apply the patches ("patch -p1 < file.patch"),
then run make to build the modules ("make /net/wireless/") or if that
fails, you can compile the full kernel with a minimal set of modules by
using "localmodconfig" to generate the .config file.

I used to follow this one:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch08s06.html.en
Although it needs some tweaks but basically works pretty well.

You can also grab it manually:
