That said, the kernel from experimental should work fine on wheezy,
and newer upstream kernels can be installed with

	apt-get install build-essential; # as root

	# from the extracted kernel directory
	cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config; # current configuration
	scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO
	make localmodconfig; # optional: minimize configuration
	make nconfig

	make deb-pkg
	dpkg -i ../<name of package>; # as root

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
