Hi In pcmcia-cs the support for ISDN-cards is completely missing, so a user would have to use kernel-pcmcia and alter /etc/pcmcia/config manually to use them ... ... until now :-) where this brand new patch as well as a new ebuild makes HiSax PCMCIA ISDN cards available for pcmcia-cs-level pcmcia users and the card-autodetection for both kernel-level and pcmcia-cs level users. find the ebuild and the patch at http://gemia.de/pcmcia-cs-hisax/ and have fun ... ... testing i couldnt test this to all extends, because either my isdn card, or my local isdn hardware is broken (the card doesnt run under windoze either) but the driver compiles and the card (AVM A1 PCMCIA) was detected at last. Eric PS: to have those cards actually running, one needs isdn4k-utils, but a dependency to that would be overkill, I let this open to the package maintainer whether to announce a new isdn useflag to handle this or ignore the dependency, since it doesnt matter for compilation anyway... if isdn4k-utils isnt there and a isdn card is inserted, cardmgr complains about not being able to run "/etc/init.d/isdn4linux start". thats all that could happen.
Can the kernel guys take a look at this also? Not sure of policy on adding/tweaking kernel stuff, like us all to be on the same page, if someone can fill us in?:)
*** Bug 31735 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
In response to #1, the patch doesn't appear to modify any kernel stuff, it just modifies pcmcia-cs's behaviour when deciding which modules to load etc.
Please file an enhancement request with upstream for inclusion of this patch.
