Re: [PATCH 2.6.7] Parallel port detection via ACPI

Hello

I tried my hand at building the module, but so far with no success. I
had a few warnings when building the module, but I don't think thats the
problem:
  CC [M]  /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.75/drivers/parport/parport_pc.o
/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.75/drivers/parport/parport_pc.c: In function
`acpi_parport_pc_resource':
/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.75/drivers/parport/parport_pc.c:2939: warning:
unused variable `status'
/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.75/drivers/parport/parport_pc.c: At top level:
include2/asm/parport.h:14: warning: `parport_pc_find_nonpci_ports'
defined but not used
/usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.75/drivers/parport/parport_pc.c:2834: warning:
`parport_pc_init_superio' defined but not used

Still, the card (VScom 210L) is not reacting (same situation as before).
Any ideas how I could proceed?
