Hi,

It looks like the requested firmware is not available in debian
squeeze [0] even if debian wiki states otherwise [1].

However, it is still distributed in the upstream kernel release [2].
Therefore, you can get the firmware files from [2]; then, you have to
convert firmware files from ASCII to binary format and, after that,
you can install them in the required position.
