Re: linux-2.6.18.1 and dev_link_t

Hi 

Has anyone got comedi working with 2.6.17/18 kernels just using patches
with no manual edits yet? 

I am a USB-DUX user and have been very happy using it with comedi and
Python on my Fedora Core 5 systems. I am hoping to move to FC6 in the
next couple of weeks and unless I start playing with FC6 and old
versions of the kernel it looks like comedi may have to wait.

I am not a C programmer and the patch looks a little more than altering
'dev_link_t' to 'pcmcia_device'. It is all a little too much for this
python programmer.
