Some of us are still using the really old FritzCard PCI under recent Ubuntu Linux.
As the fcpci module is not being developed anymore (it seems), the last available version is for Linux kernel 4.4.0 and can be found here:
https://belug.de/~lutz/pub/fcpci/fritz-fcpci-4.4.0.tar.bz2
(local mirror: fritz-fcpci-4.4.0)
However, this won’t compile under the standard Linux kernel that is shipped with latest Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS, which is 4.15.0-122. It will fail with an error like this:
In file included from /usr/local/src/fcpci-4.4.0/src/main.c:24:0:
./arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:30:27: error: unknown type name ‘mm_segment_t’; did you mean ‘apm_event_t’?
static inline void set_fs(mm_segment_t fs)
^~~~~~~~~~~~
apm_event_t
But relax, the task can be achieved by editing the sources a little. Here is how.
Steps:
- Download the sources from above and extract to /usr/local/src or somewhere else
- Make sure you got the build-essental package installed:
sudo apt-get install build-essential - Edit the file main.c and go to line 24.
Replace #include <asm/uaccess.h>
with #include <linux/uaccess.h> - Now build the module with „make“ and install with „sudo make install“
- Check with „modinfo fcpci“ if the module has been installed correctly. It should show something like this:filename: /lib/modules/4.15.0-122-generic/kernel/extras/fcpci.ko

This works up to 4.17.19 kernels as well, but to my knowledge not in any kernel later than 4.17.19, as to my understanding proc file operations (proc_fops) have changed.
