The module is included in recent kernels. I have no idea if it's built
in the Debian prepackaged kernels, but it's easy enough to roll your
own:
* Install the kernel source, either the Debian package or vanilla from
upstream
* cd to the directory containing it, and run 'make [x|menu|whatever]
config'
* the driver you want is there, enable it
* run 'make-kpkg [options] kernel_image
* dpkg -i name_of_kernel
You'll need to know the basics of configuring a kernel and using
kernel-package. GIYF, and ask here (*after* RTFM :))
