You probably want to try modconf.
Since it was detected in Woody, it should have still worked if you
upgraded to a newer Debian kernel package. What is the contents of your
/etc/modules
file? I'm not running a 2.6 Debian kernel package, so I'm not sure what
might have caused the driver to not get loaded. I read in another
message about problems you are having with a 2.6 kernel. From your
other problems, I suspect your friend is building the kernel from
source. If that's the case, you need to make sure the module for your
network card is built. /etc/modules should have the name of the nodule
you want. Just make sure you include it in the kernel config, and it
should work.

To get it working, you need a kernel patched with the latest CVS version
of speakup, flite, speech-dispatcher, and speechd-up.
Debian has speech-dispatcher and flite packages, but not a speechd-up
package. You will have to build speechd-up from source to get it
working. Gentoo has all the packages, so it's slightly easier to get it
working on Gentoo. I'm typing this using speakup with festival as my
synth. This is using Gentoo, I haven't tryed to get festival working
with speech-dispatcher on Debian. I do have speech-dispatcher working
with flite on Debian. Since Debian doesn't seem to have a 2.6 kernel
with speakup, you will also have to build the 2.6 kernel from source.
Hope this helps.
