asterisk users - Sep 2007 - Do I need to run #modprobe zaptel for Digium

Hi List;

If I am configuring Diguim Analoge card, then I need
to run #modprobe wctdm, but the question why I need to
run #modprobe zaptel also? 

What #modprobe zaptel does a things that #modprobe
wctdm does not do?

Any help?
Regards
Bilal

No.

modprobe will load all the modules on which your module depends first.
wctdm depends on zaptel, and hence it would first load zaptel and later
load wctdm.

The wctdm kernel module depends on the zaptel module, so the zaptel
module will get automatically loaded when you load the wctdm module.

Bilal,

The '#' symbol is part of a root prompt, not the command.  In fact, if
you
run a command in this way, it will not work because the shell will 
perceive you as trying to enter a comment, as one would do in a 
shellscript.

The Zapata modules have a series of interdependencies based on the logical 
decomposition of the code;  it is not necessary that the zaptel module 
"do" anything from a functional point of view, as far as interacting
with
the hardware, for it to be a necessary dependency.  It may implement
certain global utility or API functions -- symbols the wctdm module needs
to do some of its work and interface with the rest of the Zapata layer.
Programming is an abstract thing.  :-)

Take care,

-- Alex

Hi Cohen;

And do I need to run #modprobe wcfxs / #modprobe wcfxs
or I have to run #modprobe wctdm? What is the
difference?

modprobe will load all the modules on which your
module depends first.
wctdm depends on zaptel, and hence it would first load
zaptel and later
load wctdm.

  Just use wctdm

(modprobe wcfxs will likely have the same effect. wcfxs was the driver
for the same device that was used up to (including) zaptel 1.0. It was
later rewritten and renamed to wctdm. Currently wcfxs is usually an alias 
to wctdm
