Re: comedi-source 0.7.67 & pcmcia-cs kernel 2.4.22 configuration issue

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the quick response.

I edited my kernel .config to CONFIG_PCMCIA=m and and compiled the comedi modules.  It proceeded to compile the ni_mio_cs module (and others).  I then rebooted the computer with the NIDAQ-6062E and it was recognized (using pcmcia-cs v3.2.5, not the kernel pcmcia support).  I then did comedi_calibrate /dev/comedi0 and it did everything OK except that it complained about not being able to create the calibration file (somewhere/libcomedi0/calibrations/...., the default location).

I then did:
comedi_calibrate -S /root/comedi/calibrations/ni_mio_cs_DAQCard-6062E_comedi0

And that worked fine.

If there is anything else that I can do, please let me know.

cheers
