Sorry for the first post, hit the wrong button :-)

Yes, I am. Absolutely very shure.

I'm using debian, but none of the debian kernels, but my own vanilla
homebrew kernel 2.6.11 from kernel.org.

Yes, there *is* something broken here. It has something to do with the
i2c.h file. It includes lots of other files, which should be used only
when compiling the kernel.

A ugly workaround would be to extract the needed symbols from i2c.h and
hardcode them into drv_generic_i2c. But, as I said, ugly ugly ugly....

Is there any other sowftware out there which uses the i2c subsystem? I
once had a look into lm_sensors, but they do not really use the i2c
interface, but the various files in /proc or /sys only.

bye, Michael
