I would first try with the stock kernel and see how it goes.

If you are running the stable branch, you can use a backported kernel or
you can compile a new kernel by your own.
Both things are very easy to achive in Debian but the backported kernel
option won't fit your requirements as now is 2.6.39 so you will have to
compile :-)
I followed these instructions and worked like a charm though I had to do
some "minors" adjustments:
8.6. Compiling a New Kernel
