This is addressed in an ANCIENT bug report. My organization has worked around it for months. Please don't act like you're the only one affected by stable's slow uptake of drivers.
If you want "desktop" support, use a "desktop" distro.

What? Easy to understand: you doing the work.
Of course that requires also you to understand how the Debian kernel
team work is organized, how the Debian stable releases are maintained,
what does the "stable" word mean in English and a lot of other things
you apparently fail to really get a picture of, as of now.
That really understandable, no offense intended: we don't really
expect people to immediately understand how a volunteer project with
over one thousand contributors and no commercial organization behind
it, is organized. Just like we don't expect people to teach us lessons
about how we should be working when they don't really know how our
work is organized.
