upgrading to linux-image-2.6.27-11.22 (for atheros)

When upgrading the linux-image package, I missed completely a dialog screen,
and when I reinstalled, it didn't show up a second time.

/boot/grub/menu.lst does not reflect this kernel, so I had to edit that file
by hand.  Ok.  That's done.  The kernel boots.

However, I am unable to access the internet with the wireless card, because
there has been no update to the madwifi or atheros drivers.  Since I cannot
get on line with that kernel, I am pretty much lost as far as anything I can
do to upgrade linux-restricted-modules.  I assume the driver is included in
that package, or that somehow that package downloads the drivers, etc.

I haven't found any explanation of what is happening.  There isn't a
corresponding linuxirestricted-modules paCKAGE FOR THE NEWER KERNEL IMAGE,
THAT i CAN TELL.  Can someone point the way?
