Kernel 2.6.32 ?  Really?  That's ancient. For a 802.11N card?  I'm not
sure that will fly ...

If you want to build things by yourself, then don't forget that WEXT
is dead, and cfg80211/nl80211 is the new kid on the block, e.g.
configure kernel and wpa_supplicant with the latter.

That reminds me that besided the things you mentioned you might want
to have "iw" as well, the much more versatile successor if iwconfig.

And finally for Intel hardware you need also the proper firmware in
/lib/firmware.
