Hi:

Couple of notes:

Firstly, speakup under 2.3 kernels is unpredictable.  If your kernel is in
fact 2.3.14 (i.e. if that wasn't a typo) then I wouldn't expect it to
patch.

Secondly, if you are using a source that came with your distribution, it
may not be complete (ala redhat).

My advice is to download a kernel source from somewhere like ftp.kernel.org
and try patching that.

Geoff.
