[chan-capi-users] divas4linux compile errors with kernel-2.6.24

[Armin Schindler]

It seems that the new kernel 2.6.24 changes the use of proc_net. So the 
drivers must be adapted which is not done yet.
The next version of the driver (I cannot tell when) will include this fix.
But all kernel versions older than 2.6.24 should work.
