I'd strongly suggest using one of the debian distributed binary kernels.

I'm running bluetooth on a debian system using the kernel from the
kernel-image-2.4.22-1-686 package, which you can apt-get.  This includes
support for almost everything you will need, compiled as modules.

You get many advantages from using a vendor kernel, especially if you
aren't experienced at building kernels - it can take some considerable
knowledge to know which switches you need to twiddle to work with
certain hardware.

Cheers,

Doug.
