I used the kernel-patch from www.kismetwireless.net and compiled the
kernel via make-kpkg. i have to admit that this worked on a x86-system,
but it should work on a ppc, too.

make-kpkg is in the package kernel-package and works like a charm.
Search for 'compile kernel debian make-kpkg' and you will find some
useful help with this command.

Kind regards,
