Gah, that's way more work than should be required. Did the module eventually load and just not work well, or were the instructions in my message or in the kernel handbook broken? (The latter would be a very serious bug, more serious than any particular instance of missing hardware support.)

I think you misunderstood, unfortunately. The wheezy kernel will be 3.2.y, but individual drivers can be backported when the new version is well tested.

Hadn't you tested 3.3-rc6 and found it to work ok?

It sounds like debuginfo is not disabled like it should be. Did you forget to run scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO?
Sorry for the trouble and hope that helps.
