Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.109.1
Severity: normal
After compiling and installing a kernel using the latest source in
stable (linux-source (3.2+46)) the wireless does not work. The kernel
is compiled with all required drivers built in, i.e. no modules,
including the RTL8195SE driver. The firmware-realtek package is
installed. This kernel uses an initramfs (there does not seem to be any
choice about this). I cannot find any evidence of a wireless driver or
firmware being included in the initramfs. I have the same problem on
another computer with a different make of wireless chip.

yes indeed wireless is not per default in the initramfs.
We don'T support NFS over wireless there would be no other reason
to put it there, if you need it you need to list it see man
initramfs-tools for more documentation.
closing as not a bug, but a user support question.
