Hello, I just want to ask whether AVM's Fritz!Card DSL driver will be included in one of the next LiveCDs? The driver is available here: ftp://ftp.avm.de/cardware/fritzcrd.dsl/linux/ Thanks. (This is my first bug report, I'm sorry if I did anything wrong.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Created attachment 21755 [details, diff] AVM's FRITZ!Card DSL driver This patch add AVM's FRITZ!Card DSL driver in gentoo-source tree, it is against current gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r1. Instructions.... In order to use this FRITZ!Card driver, a couple of kernel modules are required: capi.o, capiutils.o, kernelcapi.o and capifs.o. The source code for these modules is part of the linux kernel in directory /usr/src/linux/drivers/isdn/avmb1 and will be compiled with the kernel if the following settings are found in the kernel configuration: CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y CONFIG_ISDN_CAPI=m CONFIG_ISDN_DRV_AVMB1_VERBOSE_REASON=y CONFIG_ISDN_CAPI_MIDDLEWARE=y CONFIG_ISDN_CAPI_CAPI20=m CONFIG_ISDN_CAPI_CAPIFS_BOOL=y CONFIG_ISDN_CAPI_CAPIFS=m CONFIG_ISDN_CAPI_CAPIDRV=m For "make menuconfig" go to "ISDN subsystem", "Active cards" and select: ... <M> CAPI2.0 support [*] Verbose reason code reporting (kernel size +=7K) [*] CAPI2.0 Middleware support (EXPERIMENTAL) <M> CAPI2.0 /dev/capi support [*] CAPI2.0 filesystem support <M> CAPI2.0 capidrv interface support ... In addtion to these entries, please enable entry "Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers" in the very first menu named "Code maturity level options". After the kernel's compilation, all CAPI modules can be found in directory /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/isdn/avmb1/ - The CAPI tools and libraries originate from the capi4k-utils package (I think that gentoo portage has an ebuild for it). The "make modules_install" copies the compiled modules into the system directory /lib/modules/X.Y.Z/kernel/drivers/net/fritz. Then they are loaded by the CAPI tool "capiinit". This tool requires the information about which cards or card drivers are to be loaded (/etc/capi.conf).
livecd bugs, not release bugs
kernel team bug
Has anything been done with this? Am I the first kernel dev to look at this?
Perhaps this would best be handled with an ebuild to build it as an external module. Would you mind writing a quick ebuild to see if it works?
Wow, this one's a year old. Closing.
