Kaare, thanks for your answer! Kaare Rasmussen wrote:
It seems there is no expertese available, about ISDN support and/or how to include new ISDN-interface support into SuSE...
There is a suse-isdn mailing list. Perhaps you're better served there. The list is mostly in German, but when I had a problem and asked in English, there was a lot of help.
Oke, although I can speak some german, I was not bold enough to do that:-) Anyway, I think now I came a lot further. Since I also heared that the 2.0.36 patch(es) included more support for ISDN cards, I stripped from the patch all the relevant diff's (as they were more or less also available in a patch for the 2.0.30A kernel). I was not yet willing enough to apply the whole patch. I checked all the files if they were oke for the changes (yes) and patched the /usr/src/linux hisax related files. Yhen indeed I had to make a new kernel. Indeed I found out to use make menuconfig (bit faster and more sure approach), and made a new kernel. (make dep; make clean; make zImage; make modules; make modules_install) This morning, so I have to test it first... (brrr...) :-) Anyone else around here who has patched SuSE with 2.0.36-7 ? Greetings, Frans
I believe you can find the mailing list here: "<A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/index.html</A</A>>
I've installed ISDN with success but not with a setup that looks like yours. I believe though that you'll have to make a new kernel, because you have to add ISDN support. But that's not a big issue; perhaps you'd like to use make menuconfig instead of plain make.
First of all, as described for SuSE 5.1, there is a hisax.o and a hisax.2.5.o in de /var/modules/etc. Does this mean that still the 'standard' version is 2.1, and one has to rename 2.5.o to get the 2.5 support? I figured 2.5 hsould have been stable enuff by now?
Seems so. 2.1 works for me though, so why not.
