Parallel Cable IV operating in "Compatibility Mode" under linux kernel 2.6.x

hi all

we following the steps from

and install the parallel cable driver under linux kernel 2.6.10 (suse

9.3 pro) Impact was not able to find xpc4drvr module thus parallel cable IV has been set to compatibility mode. following message is from "make download" in command mode

AutoDetecting cable. Please wait. Connecting to cable (Parallel Port - parport0). WinDriver v7.00 Jungo (c) 1997 - 2005 Build Date: Apr 26 2005 X86

from the message the cable is operating in compatibility mode because "xpc4drvr" is not loaded. When i check the module list, the "xpc4drv" is loaded (instead of "xpc4drvr").

The kernel message shows the following message when xpc4drvr is loaded.

xpc4drv: unsupported module, tainting kernel. xpc4drvr: init_module

Anyone has a solution to this?

The only certain thing is that it is about 10X slower than high speed mode. This become very annoying when trying downloading a big bitfile.

thank you
