plustek: Thread: Re: Plustek OpticPro 12000T - new problem

Hi :-)
After probably any update of Debian stable Plustek driver looks broken.
I have tried to recompile it, but without success - attempt to load module 
was not succesful because of lack of /dev/pt_drv devices
After manual creating of devices pt_drv*, command insmod returned:

  insmod /lib/modules/2.6.18-5-686/kernel/drivers/parport/pt_drv.ko insmod: 
error inserting 
'/lib/modules/2.6.18-5-686/kernel/drivers/parport/pt_drv.ko': -9008 
Function not implemented


kernel.log shows:

Kernel is Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.18-5-686, gcc is 4.1

Do you have any idea, what to do?
Thanks + greetings

/dev/pt_drv will be created and functional after successful load

The driver could not find your device!

No - I don't know why the driver could not find your device.
BTW: latest version is 0.43-13 and could be found in the SANE CVS.
