Is there some intermediate step I missed? I think comedi-0.7.70 only supports up to kernel 2.6.10 (possibly 2.6.11 - memory fails). The CVS version currently supports up to kernel 2.6.15.x. The Linux kernel API keeps changing with each release and the Comedi drivers have to change to keep up with it (with various hacks to remain compatible with earlier 2.6.x and 2.4.x kernels). -- -=( Ian Abbott _at_ MEV Ltd.
