The USB TelBox (allows your phone to send/receive both POTS and Skype calls) only works with the drivers from kb2skype.sourceforge.net.
The Yealink driver only works with a closed-source front-end that (supposedly) worked in an old version of Fedora. I've talked to the folks at Yealink numerous times, and they have no intention to update the software for current distros, nor open source the front-end software, so there's absolutely no possibility this driver would work... yet every SuSE update includes this POS driver.
Every time I get a kernel patch from SuSE, and reboot the system, this f*g yealink.ko driver loads, and I waste a few hours figuring out why my phone doesn't work... Yealink and kb2skype together cause system hangs and USB lock-ups.
I see no reason why SuSE is including this driver (except to frustrate me). It has no useful purpose, and will not work under any conditions, and only causes grief.
Who do we ask to get this POS removed from all future updates?
Someone smarter than me can probably write a script that will seek this out and delete it, as soon as it comes in, or at least, at a reboot.
