Just because you have answered the question four or five times doesn't make 
you any less wrong. While the nvidia-drivers in the apt repositories
don't, currently work with 2.6 kernels, the official drivers from
nVidia work fine, provided you use the latest ones. 

5336 definitely works fine straight from nVidia, with no modifications or 
hacking around, you just need to make sure you have the kernel headers 
installed for the kernel you want to install it in, as per usual.
