I think the easiest will be to upgrade to a later version of the
kernel that supports it. Although Debian is precious about updating
their kernel, you can do so using the "testing" branch of the debian
packages tree ("stable" only has 2.6.19).

Surely that does not stop you building your own kernel anyway, irrespective
of what versions debian use in any branch?
