No need to compile all of the kernel, you can blend in the drivers from
the development tree quite easally as modules, using compat-wireless.
See: http://linuxwireless.org/
Pro: the development at the (Intel) wireless drivers is quite active,
there are many improvements.
Con: there are still bugs, in some versions more than in others.
