Henry, it worked fine with a 2.6.22.18 kernel compiled using GCC 
4.3.3.

But running a 2.6.25 kernel compiled using your patches, I got

colinux: error, expected kernel API version 13, got 11
error initializing
daemon: exit code 82c6fc03
daemon: error driver version, please reinstall driver!

Is it because the 4.1.2 x 4.3.3 ?

But why 2.6.22.8 is accepted by the daemons and not 2.6.25 ?
