i don't have /dev/radio maybe that is the problem

any idea how i can get /dev/radio up and working ?
just loading the module don't do that

(as expected)

It is a standard video4linux device.

What does dmesg say when you load the driver?

nothing ...
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.11-jc3/kernel/drivers/media/video/videodev.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.11-jc3/kernel/drivers/media/radio/radio-aimslab.ko io=0x20c

without that io i get error and module doesn't load !

tank you, now i have /dev/radio up and radio programs from portage can use them
unfortunatelly still don't work

scanning or setting frequenties with those programs result only in static

i am SURE that my card works be cause i have working programs for ms-dos, windows 3.11
and under linux i have a direct control program (work without any drivers)
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/apps/sound/radio-cards/fmradio.tgz
but that's not grafic and don't know scan
