RE: comedi_config yields device not configured..

The modules.conf file (modprobe.conf for 2.6 kernels) tells modprobe how
to behave, it doesn't actually load the module, either at boot time or any
other. As Emmanuel said:

If you want to get the module loaded automatically at boot time, add the
`modprobe adc' command to something like /etc/rc.local

Cheers,
