Sounds irrelevant here, so just for others stumbling upon this: Compiling the kernel yourself ensures that the _kernel_ supports the baseline you manage to configure/patch it to support, but the rest of system (likely including wifi, although not the kernel modules) may still have a different baseline (unless you recompile everything, but then please don't call it Debian).
