Problems with comedi_config and NI DAQCard-1200

Hi there,

I'm trying to get my NI DAQCard-1200 running but have come across a
few problems. It doesn't seem like there are any problems detecting
the PCMCIA card, as when I start RTAI or run "cardctl info" I get all
the details of the card:

root_at_box:/etc/pcmcia# cardctl info
PRODID_1=""
PRODID_2=""
PRODID_3=""
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0000,0000
FUNCID=255
PRODID_1="National Instruments"
PRODID_2="DAQCard-1200"
PRODID_3="E"
PRODID_4="0"
MANFID=010b,0103FUNCID=255

So from what I understand, with rtai running and the correct driver
module (ni_labpc_cs.o) inserted into the kernel, I should only need to
run comedi_config to get the card talking to comedi. But when I run
comedi_config I get an error saying that the driver cannot be found:

root_at_box:# comedi_config /dev/comedi0 daqcard-1200
Configure failure!: Input/output error
Check kernel log for more information
Possible reasons for failure:
  Driver not found

...even though the driver is already inserted. dmesg doesn't reveal
anything overly useful (or rather, that I can understand), returning:

comedi0: ni_labpc: detach

after all the RTAI initialisation messages.

So, if anyone has any ideas of what's going on and what I can do to
get her running (I'm a bit of a newcomer to comedi) I would appreciate
it - I've searched the forums but to no avail, all I get is the same
'Driver not found' message over and over!

Cheers
Michael
