asterisk users - Oct 2003 - Redhat system init and wcusb

I have the dev kit lite installed, and after compiling and installing
asterisk, I've become a little confused about how and when wcfxo and
wcusb are loaded. When ever my box is done booting, the wcusb module is
loaded, but the wcfxo module is not. Further, even though my startup
notices say that asterisk started OK, it is not running by the time I
log in and do a ps. First, where are the wcusb/wcfxo modules being
loaded at boot time. It seems like this should happen in
/etc/rc/rc.sysinit, but there is no reference to anything associated
with asterisk. The asterisk init script doesn't load them either. 

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Regards,

Tom

Hi Tom-

Someone may have already answered you on this, but if not:

Didn't you receive a quick start sheet with your demo kit?  It should cover
this.  If not, what works for me (also running Red Hat 9.0) is to add the
following lines to the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file:

rmmod usb-uhci
modprobe usb-uhci
modprobe wcfxo
modprobe wcusb
sleep 1
ztcfg -vv
sleep 1

The above shell commands are executed by the system at the end of the
re-boot process, so go ahead and re-boot...

Then try starting asterisk by typing "asterisk -vvvvc".  Once you get
asterisk starting ok this way, you could add the asterisk line to the
rc.local file at the end to start everything on reboot.

Hope this helps.
