Had a quick scan of the code, and have a couple of observations.

The Linux kernel has seen quite a few changes since the 2.4 days. The
makefiles for starters. There are also builtin functions for
downloading fpga binary blobs from disk so you no longer have to hard
code them in to the module - I'm assuming the missing fpga_prog.h
contains the binary blob.

The PCI interface has changed and there are also routines to handle
Industry Pack modules - It may be worth your while contacting Acromag
and asking them what support they can offer. You may even find drivers
exist in the latest kernel for your IP modules - These could be used as
a reference or modified to suit you application.


Regards, Paul.
