Hello,
I'm testing the 6.1 alpha2 on a raspi b 2011.12 and the spi module is not listed on the lsmod.
Also if I try to load it manually using sudo modprobe spi-bcm2708 I receive the following message:


--- Code: ---modprobe: can't load module spi-bcm2708 (kernel/drivers/spi/spi-bcm2708.ko.gz): No such device
--- End code ---

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Thanks for reporting. I can reproduce on my Model B. Will investigate.

Add "dtparam=spi=on" to config.txt (and reboot).

Does load the module, or just make it availiable to load?
