Before compiling your kernel, do a "make menuconfig" and turn on the "wireless
extensions" option -- there's a wireless category that this option resides in.
Are you using the stock kernel config used with Ubuntu 8.04?  I would think it
would have wireless extensions enabled although I haven't built a debian based
kernel in a long time.

Good luck.
