asterisk users - Jun 2009 - Asterisk 1.6.1 and dahdichanname = no

I am using FreePBX with Asterisk 1.4 and i wanted to upgrade to Asterisk 
1.6.1.

As FreePBX only supports ZAP naming i set dahdichanname = no in my 
asterisk.conf.

However, after installation the console was still merrily chattering about 
incoming calls on DAHDI channels and nothing happened because all the 
ZAP stuff was ignored.

Are all Asterisk versions (1.6.0, 1.6.1 as well as the soon to be released 
1.6.2) able to deal with dahdichanname = no ?

If yes, where could i be going wrong?

No. Only Asterisk 1.4.x releases support 'dahdichanname'; 1.6.x releases
require DAHDI, and will only support DAHDI channel names. If you saw any
documentation to the contrary please point it out so we can get it fixed.
