Then your only options are;
1) upgrade to testing and try to install the kernel from sid
2) upgrade to sid
3) build your own kernel

#3 is probably the safest, search the forum there are a couple of howtos

[refracta]

linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-686_2.6.32-5_i386.deb
is the one you want to download to your home folder and then use dpkg -i to install it
dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-686_2.6.32-5_i386.deb

I don't think you can compile any new modules with a Sid kernel in Lenny, though, the headers package will require gcc 4.4.
