What Justin is running is an experimental kernel, which almost certainly has rough edges. If you really want that, it should be available on kernel.org presumably. Download the source tarball, apply the patch Justin has sent to the list (since it probably isn't committed even in that version yet), configure and build the kernel. Install the kernel and modules, update your boot loader probably with update-grub, cross your fingers and toes, and reboot. If you don't want an experimental kernel, then whatever is the latest from kernel.org should work just as well. If you have a kernel expert around, that person should know what to do with what I just wrote. For ease of installation and removal, you might want to ask your kernel expert to build you .deb packages for the kernel you build.
