I think you're best bet would be compiling/installing an updated kernel.
Just in case you need a wireless connection at some time...
It's easy and have no side effects: if it works, perfect, you can use it

expectations and/or generates extra problems, remove it and keep Debian
stock's one :-)

In such case (having an extra wired connection available and no need to
use a wifi link) you can take a bag of popcorn, grab a seat and patiently
