Thank you very much! It was the etc/pcmcia files that were missing. This 
info
should be in the INSTALL-file in comedilib ('make install' don't install 
the /etc/pcmcia
files). I did not modify any of the config files (I tested with the 
monitor program).

In summary this is what is needed to get the DAQCard-1200 driver to work:

1) Compile the kernel with PCMCIA support.

2) Install comedi : './configure', 'make', and 'make install'

3) Install comedilib : 'make' and 'make install_distro'

4) Add these lines to /etc/modules.conf :

    alias char-major-98 comedi
    alias char-major-98-0 ni_labpc
    post-install ni_labpc /usr/sbin/comedi_config /dev/comedi0 daqcard-1200
