I will provide a patch asap. MODULE_PARM interface has changed in 2.6.17, so I have to fix it. And there was a change in the UDEV-interface somewhere after 2.6.15.
ok, added a small patch for kernels >= 2.6.17, other kernels after 2.6.15 are not tested by me. If needed, it should be easy so fix it also. new rev. in CVS.
