Debian / Debian On C3xxx (merged Topics)

Hi, I installed yonggun's "andromeda.zip' Debian rootfs on my Zaurus [SL-3000 with 4GB internal flash card instead of microdrive] just a few days ago.
Wow, only very few modifications were necessary to adapt it to (almost) all my needs. (mainly change locales and timezone, source /etc/profile.d/tslib.sh, chmod 1777 /tmp [to allow startx for a non-root user], install kdepimpi [the only reason to stick to Openzaurus-Opie for such a long time], very few more software modifications)
But now I still have the problem that I do not get any "stand-alone" network connections:
(1.) Although my D-Link WiFi-Card seems to work [hostap_cs module loaded, device wifi0 set up], it fails to set up a WPA-encrypted connection (using the /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf that have always made it work without problems on OpenZaurus).
(2.) My Ethernet card (Billionton CF 10/100) does not work. This seems to be a rather easy one, as it works fine on the Angstrom-distro with the axnet_cs kernel module.
On Angstrom, I was able to (cross-)compile the kernel (using bitbake on a desktop PC) *with* axnet_cs module. But I was *not* able to flash such an Angstrom-kernel for being used with Debian EABI/armel [did not find its root device after flashing].
So, currently I am using the "2.6.24.4-yonggun" kernel that was included in the downloaded "andromeda.zip". But I wonder whether it is possible to either get the sources for it from somewhere (to just compile the needed module(s)), or to download such "extra-modules" already compiled from somewhere...?
Thanks for an idea!
