I joined the thousands and upgraded my Linux kernel to 2.2.1 a couple days
ago. I also noticed the possibilities of using ftape with my
backpack-based Reveal tape drive using the 4.03 pre 2 version of ftape.
I run into this error while trying to compile...
gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
-fno-strength-reduce -DTHE_FTAPE_MAINTAINER=\"[EMAIL PROTECTED]\"
-DBROKEN_FLOPPY_DRIVER -DCONFIG_FT_PROC_FS -DCONFIG_FT_STD_FDC_0

fdc-io.c: In function `fdc_interrupt_wait':
fdc-io.c:433: structure has no member named `timeout'

make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/ftape-4.03pre2/ftape'
make: *** [all] Error 2
The kernel is 2.2.1. In looking at fdc-io.c the structure referred to is
'current'. I can't seem to find where current is defined anywhere.
Any ideas?

P.S. I sent a subscription request to majordomo yesterday and have not
received confirmation that I am on the list. So please cc: me if you
