i took debian "unstable" 2.6.11 and patched the kernel 
by a checkout from the cvs.
Is that sufficient?


add to /etc/apt/sources.list
# To get the most resecnt kernel we need "unstable"
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main
# all other module should be testing(currently named "sarge") or stable
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ testing main
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ testing main
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free


add to /etc/apt/apt.conf
# fix default to "testing". You dont' want use "unstable" at home.
APT::Default-Release "testing";

#aptitude install kernel-image-2.6.11-1-k7 kernel-source-2.6.11 kernel-image-2.6.11-1-686

#cd /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
