Hi all,

i have a bit of a problem with my ISDN Configuration.

This is what I use:

- pretty plain, out of the box Suse 7.3 - Fritz Card Rev. 2.0 (AVM) - AVM Capi Drivers for Suse 7.3 (released Nov. 2001) - smpppd 0.49

I installed the Capi drivers exactly as described in the install_de.txt file provided by AVM.

I can connect to my ISP. Everything works fine.

Now here is my problem:

I disconnect from the ISP by using the disconnect feature of "KInternet" (right-mouse on icon in systray).

I log out.

I shut down (or restart) the system.

The system will shut down normaly until it gets to the point of unloading the ISDN drivers.

I guess that something goes wrong in /etc/init.d/i4l when called with "stop" arguement. I entered some "echo" commands to the script. The script stops at the following line:

$SBIN/isdnctrl delif $NETDEV

On the syslog i can find repeating messages:

"unregister_netdevice: waiting for ippp0 to become free" Usage count = 3

Known kernel bug. Since you use the CAPI drivers, you have 3 possibilities to fix the problem. 1. Use the pppcapiplugin and pppd for the internet connection. 2. Load a update kernel from our ftp server 3. use the attached patch and build a new kernel, to clone the exact kernel config use zcat /proc/config.gz >/usr/src/linux/.config, then you don't need to compile all modules, installing the new kernel is enought -- Karsten Keil SuSE Labs ISDN development
