Hi, you can certainly upgrade from a 2.2 kernel to the latest 2.4 kernels by grabbing the various sources and compiling. You'll need to grab the 2.4 kernel source from: ftp.kernel.org You'll need the speakup 1.5 source from: ftp://linux-speakup.org You'll grab the patch for your network card, and then you will need to patch your kernel source tree with speakup and the network cards drivers. After that you will have to configure the kernel source, install the kernel and modules, modify your boot options, and you should be good to go. It's allot of work, but it can be done.
