%----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is the glue code used for the interaction between the kernel and the linux
code. It is the suggested option for using drivers ported from the Linux 2.6
kernel tree.

\begin{description}
\item [\texttt{void LINUXC26\_register\_module(int use\_intdrive);}]
\item [\texttt{Description:}] It initializes the compatibility layer interface
and the library's internal data structures.
\item [\texttt{Parameters:}] TRUE indicates to use the IntDrive for managing
interrupts; FALSE makes the glue layer to use the old interrupt management
system.
\item [\texttt{Return value:}] 0 if the module is installed; 1 otherwise.
