asterisk users - Jun 2006 - BN8S0 Installation problem - 0 devices registrered

hi
i am experiencing some problems with the configuration of an BN8S0 Beronet card.
I've downloaded last CVS of mISDN ans mISDNuser, i patch the kernel
2.6.16.18 and the enabled the following:

<*> ISDN support
  x x       Old ISDN4Linux  --->
  x x ---   CAPI subsystem
  x x <M>   CAPI2.0 support
  x x [*]     Verbose reason code reporting (kernel size +=7K)
  x x [*]     CAPI2.0 Middleware support (EXPERIMENTAL)
  x x <M>     CAPI2.0 /dev/capi support
  x x [*]       CAPI2.0 filesystem support
  x x ---     CAPI hardware drivers
  x x         Active AVM cards  --->
  x x         Active Eicon DIVA Server cards  --->
  x x         Modular ISDN driver  --->

 <M> Support modular ISDN driver
  x x [*]   Enable memory leak debug for mISDN
  x x [*]   Support for AVM Fritz!Cards
  x x [ ]   Support for HFC PCI cards
  x x [*]   Support for HFC multiport cards (HFC-4S/8S/E1)
  x x [*]     HFC multiport driver with memory mapped IO


after the kernel recompilation and the reboot i build and install
mISDNuser with make and make install.

The card is recognized by the system, this is the output of lspci:

00:0d.0 ISDN controller: Cologne Chip Designs GmbH ISDN network
Controller [HFC-8S] (rev 01)

and i can load hfcmulti and mISDN_dsp without problems...
all channels are configured in TE mode, i use this modprobe:

/sbin/modprobe hfcmulti layermask=0xf,0xf,0xf,0xf,0xf,0xf,0xf,0xf
protocol=0x2,0x2,0x2,0x2,0x2,0x2,0x2,0x2 type=0x08
/sbin/modprobe mISDN_dsp

and this is the output of dmesg:

Modular ISDN Stack core $Revision: 1.34 $
mISDNd: kernel daemon started
mISDNd: test event done
mISDN: HFC-multi driver Rev. 1.41
0 devices registered
mISDN_dsp: Audio DSP  Rev. 1.17 (debug=0x0) EchoCancellor MG2
mISDN_dsp: DSP clocks every 64 samples. This equals 2 jiffies.


why i get 0 devices registrered? where am i wrong?
thanks in advance

make an 'lsmod' and look for any old ISDN architecture modules such as
hisax
or isdn etc. There shall be no other modules loaded then hfcmulti and the 
misdn stuff. You don't need CAPI, maybe this is even the clue to your not 
working S0 card. 
Beronet provides all you need in order to get a BN8S0 card to run. Just 
download the install-misdn-mqueue script from the beronet website and the 
cardinstallation guide and everything will be fine. This is my experience. 
You do not need to patch the kernel an recompile it. Just install the kernel 
sources. Then execute the install-misdn-mqueue script. This is doing the 
rest.
Another point of failure may be the hotplug system and drivers. If you got 
BN8S0 card to run you maybe have some asterisk crashes which depend on the 
machine you are running. I have an IBM xSeries and my Debian loads some 
hotplug drivers as default. This is also something you should get rid of.
Just blacklist it in /etc/hotplug together with the old style isdn and capi. 
As far as I know chan_misdn does not support CAPI yet.

Oh sorry, chan_misdn supports CAPI. The other question is wether mISDN itself 
provides CAPI support..
