[njbfs-bugs] Support for 2.4.18-26.8.0 kernels?

[Neil R. C. <nch...@al...>]

I was successfully running njbfs under RedHat 7.3, but when I upgraded to 8.0
(2.4.18-26.8.0 kernel), the driver won't load, and doesn't report anything 
useful:

% insmod ./njbfs.o
./njbfs.o: init_module: Operation not permitted
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including 
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
       You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
%

% tail /var/log/messages

Mar  8 21:52:10 nchannen kernel: usb.c: error registering nomad driver

I have updated to the latest CVS source, and rebuilt it; I had to change:
nomad.c: line 42 to
     #include <linux/slab.h>
as <linux/malloc.h> is deprecated, and the Makefile to:
     SEARCHDIRS := -I- -I${MYCODEDIR} -I/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include
instead of ... -I/usr/src/linux/include, which is no longer allowed

Any guesses what I'm doing wrong?  I always preferred njbfs to gnomad, but I 
can't get either working!

Thanks!
