In case you're wondering, this is bug #571255. If I understand correctly 
where the problem is, it should also work to install the new udev *and* 
the new kernel manually with one dpkg run (untested):

# cd /var/cache/apt/archives
# dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.32....deb udev.......deb

Please post the output of 'lspci' and 'grep wlan /var/log/syslog'
