[avr-chat] linux parallel device

[Chris Bare]

Can anyone give me any pointers on how to set up the parallel port for use
with avrdude under linux 2.6.15?
I've got the parport_pc and parport modules loaded, but I don't have a
/dev/parport0 device. I do have a /dev/par0, but if I try to use it with
avrdude, I get:
avrdude: can't open device "/dev/par0": No such device or address
avrdude: failed to open parallel port "/dev/par0"

I've made sure the parallel port is enabled in bios, and tried all the
different settings available there. Do I need to do a mknod manually? I was
assuming that devfs or the driver would create the /dev entry (I still find
all that stuff a bit mysterious)
