Firstly I follow the step as driver/skel.c and > driver/contec_pci_dio.c, but my card has not been detected. All the current devices supported by Comedi that use the 5933 chip have the PCI vendor ID for AMCC. So, if that's not the case for your board, you need to modify the amcc_s5933 driver. I'd recommend adding a vendor id parameter to pci_card_list_init(). Or, if you want to work on making it better, move the probe code to amcc_init() and have it probe a list of all known devices. dave...
