i am also running amd64
i got 2.6.27 running this morning but that's about it.
booted into gnome and didn't really know what to do after that. i used:
kernel source# make menuconfig
(made sure iwl stuff was added etc. saved as .config)
kernel source# fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image
kernel source# dpkg -i /home/user/src/linux-image-2.6.27_custom.1.0_amd64.deb
kernel source# mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27 2.6.27
doublechecked menu.lst and rebooted.
i assumed that the wireless modules were in by default but i couldn't
see anything in the few minutes i've had a look around. (had to go to
work)
i also have no idea if my make-kpg is wrong but that's how it worked for me.
