With the iwlwifi modules in upstream and debian 2.6.24, I'm having
problems associating with anything other than WEP, and WEP outputs a lot
of debug info into syslog. I was once able to associate with WPA and WPA2
(under 2.6.23), but it wouldn't roam once it lost its connection first
time, until the module was rmmodded and modprobed again. Now I can't
associate at all, in 2.6.24.

I suspect those instructions may be out of date.
First, we get a 403 forbidden from apt-get update:
W: Failed to fetch http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel/dists/trunk/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 403 Forbidden
W: Failed to fetch http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel/dists/sid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 403 Forbidden
Suspecting that http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel
should be http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel/build
I tried again, but there is no trunk directory under
http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel/build/dists
only sid.
And finally, there's no binary-amd64 directory under
http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel/build/dists/sid/main/
and
http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel/build/dists/trunk/main/
W: Failed to fetch http://kernel-archive.buildserver.net/debian-kernel/build/dists/trunk/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 404 Not Found
