asterisk users - Oct 2004 - Compiling HDLC does not Produce hdlc0 for T100p

my target is to produce a linux router with T100p to Fract T1 24chan
to ethernet and TDM 4channel FXO.

I have not been able to get nethdlc  to work, just get zaptel networking 
not configured

if I set bchan and dchan the card comes to life, but I don't believe this
is correct for what I want to accomplish.

according to markster@ this is the way they do it.

using (multiple distro versions from redhat with same results -- none)
but have settled on the fedora core 1 as older RH distros are no longer
supported, I figured just go with the FC1 2.4.22 

I have been going around with this for several days with 
several different distros and still have issues with the T100p

I compile with Generic HDLC, Raw HDLC, Raw HDLC (ethernet), Cisco HDLC
install the zaptel drivers , libpri (asterisk does not seem to play a part here)

the T100p gets identified as Tiger 535 (kudzo)

I put in the ip, mask,  gateway and dns in kudzo  (in this case fedora core 1)

but it creates an eth1 , hisax  device, but no hdlc device

modprobe zaptel
modprobe wct1xxp
modprobe hdlc
all seem to function properly and return no errors

sethdlc hdlc0 cisco
sethdlc (comiled from sethdlc-new) errors because it can't find the device
(hdlc0)

do I need to patch linux to get it to register the hdlc device or is the T100p
only for ISDN, I've even compiled the module without ISDN support
and still get the same results.

Searching the wiki has only served to get me stuck deeper,

I got it working on kernel 2.4.19.  I understand it is working again on 
the latest 2.4.x kernel, but I haven't tried it yet.
