Ah. So something changed in the driver model interface. Patches
welcome. Meanwhile I'll add a version check and abort compilation for
kernel <2.6.14 (did anyone try it on 2.6.13.x?).

Meawhile, version 0.05 is available on SourceForge, courtesy of Thomas
Hood and the tpctl project:

71579

0.05  2005-12-05
----------------
- Kernel 2.6.15 compatibility
- Improved error reporting
- Cleared confusing dmesg output
