Hi Armin,

Thank you for your reply.  I compared the /usr/include/linux/capi.h with diff 
and they are different after all.  The kernel includes in Slackware 12.1 are 
from Linux 2.6.24.5.  The kernel version I am using is also 2.6.24.5.

I did get chan_capi 1.1.1 to compile cleanly by making a small change 
to /usr/include/linux/capi.h.  See patch below.  I do not know if this a 
proper fix, but I will test it out to see if chan_capi works with Asterisk 
and my Diva server BRI card.

Hector
