Hello!

When I try to load ftape as a module, I get the following error:

Nov 12 00:58:48 ctx-apex kernel: ftape-2.08 960314
Nov 12 00:58:48 ctx-apex kernel: (c) 1993-1995 Bas Laarhoven (bas@vimec.nl)

Nov 12 00:58:48 ctx-apex kernel: Compiled for kernel version 2.1.8 with versioned symbols
Nov 12 00:58:48 ctx-apex kernel: [000] kernel-interface.c (ftape_init) - dmaalloc() failed.

Is there a way to fix this is the near future? I do not want to have
this compiled into the kernel because of the memory requirements and that I
only use the driver once a week.

Thanks!
