2.5.52:modules,speedstep,orinoco_cs,apm

Dear diary,

after trying the Linux kernel 2.5.52, I recognized the following problems:

- modules are named .ko instead of .o, is there a need for new modutils ? Didn't find anything until now in the Changelogs.
A cp find /lib/modules/2.5.52/kernel -name \*.o /lib/mo*/2.5.52/ let's RR module-init utils load the modules again.
- inserting of orinoco_cs freezes the system [automaticly by cardmgr]
- speedstep.o still does not support all P3s ?
cpufreq: Intel(R) SpeedStep(TM) for this chipset not (yet) available.
Do you need some more informations about this chip?

- apm doesn't recognize when I close my notebook nor does it recognize Fn+F4 [suspend button]; Calling apm -s still does work
- inserting apm.o causes kernel to printout the following:

If there are news with those problems / I can help fix them, please tell me.

Hopefully attached all relevant files.
