2.6.30 kernel issues

[Cheryl Homiak]

My unstable debian system upgraded to kernel 2.6.30-1 but I keep checking 
and there aren't speakup modules for it yet; usually the modules come out 
pretty quickly after the kernel. I know there can be lots of reasons for 
delays and I'm not being impatient; just wondered if anybody knows 
anything about this.

Also I'm having mplayer issues with the 2.6.30 kernel; it skips little 
bits of content when playing mp3 files and on streams cuts in and out so 
that it eventually quits playing altogether. I'm using the svn of mplayer 
and so maybe I need to upgrade that. Has anybody else had issues with 
mplayer and the 2.6.30 kernel? I don't seem to have the same issues with 
vlc.

I'd just go back to the 2.6.29 kernel 
for now except that for some reason now when I go back to that kernel my 
pcmcia wireless card which uses the ath5k module drops to abysmal download 
rates even just for loading a webpage.
