The Huawei e169 umts usb modem seems to work fine with Debian Sid, kernel 2.6.25-2-686 kernel, but not with my Debian Etch, kernel 2.6.18-4-k7. Now, in order to have the device working, I should upgrade my system to Sid or even maybe simply upgrade only my kernel to 2.6.25-2-686. I wonder if there is a third possibility, i.e. keep my old kernel but simply recompile it. Can anybody suggest if such a way is good and how I can know the proper module to install before compiling the kernel?
You could recompile 2.6.25-2-686 on you Etch system from source and then install the result.
