DCF77-CLock / pcfclock-problem

[mhossbach]

Hi

Since updating my kernel to 2.6.12-r10, I'm having some difficulties with my DCF77-radioclock-module: The driver and the utilities from the pcfclock package seem to work -- sometimes. When calling pcfdate, you sometimes get the message
pcfdate: /dev/pcfclock0: No such device
Also, it look as if this happened more often when calling pcfdate from within a bash-script.

I first thought this might be because of some other driver accessing the paralell port, like the ide-over-paralell-stuff or the iomega drivers, so I deactivated them. Still, the problem remained.

Maybe someone else here has managed to get this working under kernel 2.6.12 ... ? Any hints appreciated.

T.I.A.,
Martin
