Hi,
I just upgraded from Etch to Lenny on my laptop.
Normally I get sound working using the snd-maestro3 module, but I
can see that support has been removed.

This is something that is affecting a lot of users.
Yes, I can use 2.6.18 instead of 2.6.26, and yes I can download and
installed firmware manually, but hell then I might as well run
something different if I have to mess around like that to get sound
working.
This response to the bug that you referenced explains exactly how to
get sound to work again.

Like I wrote: "yes I can download and install firmware manually"
So you did. My apologies.
I disagree with you, though, about your reaction to having to
manually d/l the binary firmware. Using Linux means sometimes
having to get your fingers a bit greasy.
