[Problems compiling a driver for linux 2.4 against linux 2.6]

The main issue is, that the 2.6 kernel-series has a completely different
driver API then 2.4 series. More than that, linux 2.6.0 was
released in December 2003, which is now nearly 6 years in the past, and
in this time, the driver API has been changed more than one time. To
solve your problem, you need a documentation about the driver-API (in
lenny, it's 2.6.26) and you need to figure out how to rewrite
your driver. I assume you know the lkml.
Good luck!

This calls for a celebration.

Fortunately, not all of this 50 bugs are open. Other implications?

1. It is the home exercise in "Operating Systems" until next week.
2. Why do you want to have all the fun?
3. For any other reason, see 1.)
