Before you load the module you need to echo the IRQ that it is to use in /proc/parport/0/irq I do this with my debian box to my slackware box and it works quite nicely. I have included my simple 'plip' script that I wrote to handle it. It is not the most robust, but it gets the interface up. Feel free to tweak it at your leisure. :-) Andy
