Bug Description
SRU Justification/
It seems the comedi staging drivers were disabled in Lucid. This is a regression from Karmic. I'm not sure why these were disabled, so if someone has a good reason for them to remain disabled please speak up.
Per the request of the usbdux maintainer, I've re-enabled comedi by reverting the patch which disabled it. I recognize we are frozen for the upcoming release so please consider this for the first Lucid Stable Release Update.
TEST CASE:
I've built a test kernel which re-enables comedi and have received confirmation from the bug reporter (usbdux maintainer) that this indeed provides the comedi drivers.
=====
The kernel modules for comedi were available in karmic but have disappeared from lucid. In the original kernel package comedi exists:

whereas in the precompiled modules comedi is missing:

Note that I have reported a comedi related bug for karmic (Bug #483343) and it was promised that this would be fixed for lucid.
Can you guys include comedi in 2.6.32. That would be great if that could be fixed before the release of lucid because I (and the comedi community) was really looking forward to an ubuntu with all comedi drivers installed. We have spent quite a lot of effort to get comedi into the mainstream kernel and comedi is used by many users.

I have compiled from source with the standard config file which actually contains the lines: COMEDI_ PCI_DRIVERS= m COMEDI_ PCMCIA_ DRIVERS= m COMEDI_ USB_DRIVERS= m
CONFIG_COMEDI=m
# CONFIG_COMEDI_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_
CONFIG_
CONFIG_
and after manual compile I get the drivers and everything works fine. Seems so that the comedi subdirectory has been removed by hand?
