Zach,

Slackware 11 does have 2.6.17 kernel, the source, headers, module
and kernel are available here:

http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/pub/distro/slackware/slackware-11.0/extra/linux-2.6.17.13/

Please note the warning about headers
http://gulus.usherbrooke.ca/pub/distro/slackware/slackware-11.0/extra/linux-2.6.17.13/kernel-headers.WARNING

This kernel is not a speakup kernel, but it's easy to patch it for
speakup. If you want the 2.6.x kernel headers, then grab them
from the above, you could get the source for 2.6.21 instead
from kernel.org and patch that for speakup. Follow the
speakup install instructions, they are not difficult.
