NI PCI-6229 problems

Hi!

I just got a NI PCI-6229, and I'm having trouble getting COMEDI to work with
it. I am using kernel 2.6.15.1 (with the ipipe patch), RTAI 3.3-test4 (although
I'm not using RT features), COMEDIlib 0.7.22 and COMEDI checked out from CVS
yesterday.

First strange thing: When configuring the device, I get some ugly looking
messages in the kernel log:

#comedi_config /dev/comedi1 ni_pcimio

===
comedi1: ni_pcimio: pci-6229
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [APC2] enabled at IRQ 17
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:09.0[A] -> Link [APC2] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 21
MITE:0xed014000 mapped to d0bcc000 DAQ:0xed015000 mapped to d0c7e000
mite: version = 1, type = 4, mite mode = 1, interface mode = 3
mite: num channels = 8, write post fifo depth = 128, wins = 0, iowins = 2
 ( irq = 21 )m_series_stc_writew: FIXME: register 0xb does not map cleanly on to m-series boards.
m_series_stc_writew: bug! unhandled register=0x3a in switch.
m_series_stc_writew: bug! unhandled register=0x4f in switch.
m_series_stc_writew: bug! unhandled register=0x50 in switch.
===

Then, when trying to do AI (using instructions, not commands) I get NaNs
instead of values and the following message in the syslog:

===
m_series_stc_readw: bug! unhandled register=0x7 in switch.
===

Finally, comedi_test works on the AI device, but shows the same message in the
syslog (the results are attached to the email). On the AO device, comedi_test
hangs on the 'cmd_write_fast_1chan' test after writing some data, with the
same error on the log (results also attached).

I welcome all suggestions to make this work!
Thanks!

Bye & Good Luck!
