Dear Ian
Following your indications I updated the comedi drivers through cvs using the -D '2006-07-11 19:00' option. autogen then correctly detected PCMCIA support (as module). However it doesn't compile. Below is the make error message. What's going on? (I used --enable-pcmcia option with configure).
Note that I haven't applied the patch you sent: I understood that I must not since I am using kernel 2.6.15, although I am not sure I understood correctly your instructions about that. can you confirm please?
I don't know if "Ubuntu played the same tricks as Fedora", I am using a vanilla kernel anyway. How can I check that?
Anyway I tried to apply the patch, just in case. 'patch -p0 < comedi.patch' fails reporting "Hunk #1 FAILED at 37".
Thanks
Brice

You don't need the patch if you are only using 2.6.15 unless Ubuntu
played the same tricks as Fedora by implementing API changes that don't
match the vanilla kernel with the same version number (basically,
Fedora's 2.6.15 kernel includes the PCMCIA API changes from 2.6.16).
If you're in the comedi top level directory, 'patch -p0 < comedi.patch'
should work.

You can get them via the web interface if you click on the filename in
the left-hand column, find the entry with the desired revision number
and use the '(as text)' link in that entry to view or download the plain
text version of that revision.
Or with cvs, you can checkout a particular revision using the -r option,
e.g. 'cvs co -r1.16 comedi/drivers/cb_das16_cs.c'. It is also possible
to checkout from CVS using the -D option to specify a cut-off
time-stamp. The following should check out everything within a crucial
34 minute period:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous_at_cvs.comedi.org:/cvs/comedi login
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous_at_cvs.comedi.org:/cvs/comedi co -D '2006-07-11
19:00' comedi

It's on my list of things to do, but I can't promise any timescale.
Hopefully within a month.
I think comedi-0.7.70 works for kernel versions up to 2.6.10 (maybe
2.6.11 - I forget the exact version!).
