asterisk users - Sep 2004 - chan_capi, Eicon Diva server BRI, kernel 2.6?

Hi list,

Does chan_capi work with kernel 2.6?  The Eicon Diva server card loads
fine judging from /var/log/messages but Asterisk gives an error when
trying to load the chan_capi module. I'm using chan_capi-0.3.5,
zaptel-1.0.0, libpri-1.0.0 and asterisk-1.0.0 on a Fedora box with
kernel 2.6.8-1.584. Zaptel and ilbpri work fine as does *. I have seen a
msg that may be related and don't know if this fix is included in Red
Hat's 584 kernel:
http://listserv.isdn4linux.de/pipermail/i4ldeveloper/2004-August/000630.html

Here are the kernel options compiled in:

Yes. Currently I am using a patched 2.6.5 on a system having
AVM B1 V3 installed. It is the patch you mentioned.

The patch is in the Changelog to 2.6.9. There are some other capi
related changes in kernel >= 2.6.9-rc1-bk4.


http://www.melware.de has some information and drivers for Eicon
Diva server BRI pci.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the tip. I checked the 584 kernel and it already contains the
melware patches from that link. Guess the culprit is fixed in those
commits found in 2.6.9-rc1-bk4. I can not find them. Do you know where I
can find which capi/eicon related patches were committed to
2.6.9-rc1-bk4?

Thanks and regards,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

is it an option for you to use 2.6.9-rc2 ? In particular the "low-level
drivers skb free fix" is listed in the changelog. 

isdn4linux mailing list is probably an adequate discussion forum for
theese questions. English is used for some threads on this list,
german for others.
