I do not think that your new kernel is responsible for your problem.
Nevertheless, it cannot hurt to (re)test vlc with the standard Debian
Lenny kernel for your architecture.

img_resample should be defined in /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.51.50.0 (from
the libavcodec51 package). Please post the output of this command:

ldd /usr/lib/vlc/codec/libffmpeg_plugin.so | grep avcodec

The ipw2100 should work with your standard Debian kernel, provided you
have "firmware-ipw2x00" installed. (This package is in "non-free".)
