It queries the kernel.  It requires the kernel headers, which weren't 
installed by default on my RedHat machine (it's been 2 years though, so it 
may be default now..?)

It worked fine for me, though I've since moved from Redhat stuff to 
linuxfromscratch.  There is a FAQ with the comedi source detailing some 
redhat specific errors that crept up quite commonly (mostly about needing 
kernel headers).
