Install images for testing are updated daily so you could just try the 
next daily build.  You could also look at the boot options (I think it's 
F2 or F3) on the loader screen and make sure you are using a 2.6 kernel 
(not sure if testing still defaults to 2.4, sarge certainly did), or you 
could try 'expert' mode for more control over kernel/module options.

Or, as Paul suggested, install a minimal base system with the stable 
release (Sarge) then apt-get dist-upgrade to testing and add all the 
whizzy stuff you want.
