Well, it is not all that difficult. You build a kernel from pristine upstream sources, if the problem persists, then it is a upstream problem, if not, it is a debian problem. Building your own kernel, altough not trivial, is far from being something otherwordly, and the process is well documented all over the web. Friendly, Sven Luther
