I've attached an updated version of the patch to bug #221, which might
work for Fedora's 2.6.15 kernel.  I've compiled Comedi against Fedora'a
kernel-devel package on a Gentoo system successfully using this patch (I
don't have FC5 installed), so there is some hope, but I haven't been
able to test if the resulting Comedi modules load or not, or indeed
whether the new PCMCIA stuff works properly.
