The skeleton driver was indeed updated, but I have considered renaming it "isa-skeleton.c" or "old-skeleton.c" and writing another, because some of the skeleton.c code doesn't follow correct and current kernel coding practices and APIs... > It didn't look very complicated from 2.0 -> 2.4 at least so 2.2 -> 2.4 > should not be difficult at all.
