Thanks, this is some solution. I already use recompiled kernel packages
and there is no problem to add some patches, but dkms could be simpler
in some situation.

But still is a problem with debian-installer and i don't want to
recompile it. For new servers i use pxe netboot installer and on
machines with this card i must use installer from testing release. Of
course for easier installation there is no problem to install other
kernel with preseed/late_command or from local repo, but this card occur
in many new servers and i think Debian should support it in stable
release. This will be helpful for many people, untill we will see
squezee as stable, for me for sure :)

Best regards
