Anyone using the 7D with a 580EX MKI?

When I go to the flash menu on the 7D I can control the EV +/- but the rest of the options are blocked out ans saying that my flash isn't compatible. I thought I read in the instruction manual that all "EX" series speedlites are compatible and can be controlled by the camera. Am I missing something?

Only the EXII can be set by the camera AFAIK. EXI series have to be set on the flash itself

Yeah, my 580EXII does work fine. I just wasn't sure if my MKI was biting the dust. I've must have done 150,000 flashes on that thing.. and it's still going like the Energizer Bunny.
