This one is rather serious though. You have to change the function to fit
under the new calling conventions. I did do that and it compiles cleanly
without a warning. If anyone's interested I can send out patches, however,
you better read on before you ask.

Never saw that.

This is exactly the same problem I encountered. I do not have the slightest
idea where this migh come from. There simply is no connection with the new
driver.
