Unless you want to customize the configuration of the kernel (prepare to read  
a lot of documentation!), or to check by yourself that it is free software  
(without the need to trust jxself who builds and distributes the deb  
packages), there is not much point in compiling the kernel by yourself. Here  
is how to get the latest pre-compiled version of Linux-libre:

However, you could first wait for some feedback on the Wifi chipset you have.  
There may not be any free firmware for it (even in the latest Linux-libre).
