I had the same problem, if your using the same codebase I was using, go to
comedi-0.7.67/comedi/drivers and open up the Makefile and find the DEFS=
line.  add to that  -DCONFIG_COMEDI_8255=1 so it should look like this now:

DEFS = -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DCONFIG_COMEDI_8255=1 

return to the comedi-0.7.67 directory and do a 'make clean' and a 'make
install' and that should fix it.

Hello -- 

I have successfully been using the ni_pcimio driver with my 6025  
card, and now wish to begin using the digital I/O features as well. 

the following output from the "lsmod" program is:  
-bash-2.05b# lsmod

comedi                 23956   0  [ni_pcimio 8255] 

the following output from the "info" program is:

how can I gain access to the 8255 subdevice? Does it is subdevice 3 ?  

Thanks,
