asterisk users - Apr 2004 - Réf. : Re: Fritz ISDN PCI v2 and CAPI

I tried that but it still doesn't work... I think I don't have the
correct
approach. Have I to install any ISDN drivers (=modules ?) BEFORE dealing
with CAPI ?

If yes, why shouldn't I use the hisax drivers (which are kernel ones)
instead of fcpci drivers (which doesn't seems to work, by the way...)

And finally, how is it possible to link the two modules together?

As you can see, I am drowning in these difficulties and a help would be
very welcomed!

Cheers!

Jean-Marie,

I remember that I read (found trough Google) that hisax and channel_capi 
can not be installed at the same time. Actually you have to remove hisax to 
run chan_capi

jakob

As far as I am aware the only drivers for the avm fritz card that
provide capi support are the avm fcpci driver and the new modular ISDN
driver mISDN. The generic HiSaX driver is not compatible with CAPI.

If you want to use chan_capi you must have a properly configured capi
middleware system running in kernel and a compatible driver underneath
it.

I.e.
Chan_capi    ---- user space
---------
capi middleware ---- kernel space
capi compliant driver (fcpci.o or mISDN.o)

However I think that there are still some unresolved issues with the
chan_capi/fcpci combination with Fritz V2 cards, I seem to remember some
messages on this list a while ago.

Whilst I am here, has anyone found a real fix for the dreaded,

kernel: capidrv-1: controller dead ??
kernel: capidrv-1: listen_change_state state=3 event=1 ????

messages, which seems to be related to power save mode in BT System Y
Exchanges.
