asterisk users - Nov 2012 - TE820 hardware detection

I just installed a TE820 octal span T1 card, and it's not showing up in
dahdi_hardware output.  This was installed into a test machine that already has
a TDM800P card in it, and that one is showing up and working fine.  Is there
some kernel module that I'm missing?

This is on a FreePBX 1.817.210.58 install - I'm not sure what the dahdi
tools version is.

Support for the TE820 was added to the wct4xxp driver in DAHDI-Linux
v2.6.0. DAHDI-Linux 2.6.1 is the latest version. I bet updating
DAHDI-Linux and DAHDI-Tools is all you need to do.

Cheers,
Shaun

I checked the version and it looks like it is up to date

[root at dozer2 dahdi]# asterisk -rx 'dahdi show version'
DAHDI Version: 2.6.1 Echo Canceller: HWEC
[root at dozer2 dahdi]# modinfo -F version dahdi
2.6.1
[root at dozer2 dahdi]# cat /sys/module/dahdi/version
2.6.1

On a whim, I went ahead and downloaded and built/installed dahdi 2.6.1
After that, I ran dahdi_genconf and it made entries for the card in
/etc/dahdi/system.conf
I think perhaps it didn't have the proper firmware downloaded in the
distribution, or it tried to download it during the install and failed
(we're behind a web content filtering system, so sometimes things get
blocked)

But still when I run dahdi_hardware, I still only see the TDM800P card

If you have Asterisk running you can get the version like:

  # asterisk -rx 'dahdi show version'
  DAHDI Version: v2.6.1 Echo Canceller: HWEC

You can see which version is installed in the modules (sitting on
the disk, not necessarily loaded into the running kernel) directory
like:

  # modinfo -F version dahdi
  v2.6.1

You can see which version is actually loaded in the kernel like:

  # cat /sys/module/dahdi/version 
  v2.6.1

And I'm with you on this one...
