You're english is pretty bad. I see you're from Italy so no prob, but
it makes it hard to understand what you meant. Perhaps your problem is
the syntax of pktsetup changed:

pktsetup <name> <device>

This creates <name> in /dev/pktcdvd/<name>, you can then mount
/dev/pktcdvd/<name> rw.

Also for me (Fedora Core 2) kernel 2.6.10 maded packetwriting work a
lot better. First of all the pktcdvd module is now included by default
and second it made direct writing to dvd+rw possible with my nec3500.
Direct as in without using the pktcdvd driver, just the drive's
firmware if I understood Peter Osterlund's explanation correctly.

Hope this is of any use to you.
