[ILUG] more on ISDN ta

[Steffen Higel]

Hi again,

I went out today and bought an Eicon Diva PCI 2.01 for the gateway I am
setting up. This revision of the card does not yet work under FreeBSD.
Being in a rush, and wanting to get things out of the way, I went down to
my local computer shop and bought a MRI Mr. Modem PCI ISDN adapter.

The chipset appears to be a HFC-S-Pci (A), which is the Cologne chip that was
recommended to me on Thursday. This also failed to work under FreeBSD.

(Here comes the on-topic bit)

So I installed Debain from an oldish potato cd I had lying around, and
upgraded the kernel to 2.4.18. Regardless of which card I put in (and I
have tried this on two motherboards with PNP OS in the bios in either
state), I get this from dmesg:

HiSax: Linux Driver for passive ISDN cards
HiSax: Version 3.5 (kernel)
HiSax: Layer1 Revision 1.1.4.1
<snip some more layer stuff>
HiSax: Approval certification valid
HiSax: Approved with ELSA Microlink PCI cards
HiSax: Approved with Eicon Technology Diva 2.01 PCI cards
HiSax: Approved with Sedlbauer Speedfax + cards
HiSax: Approved with HFC-S PCI A based cards
HiSax: Total 1 card defined
HiSax: Card 1 Protocol EDSS1 Id=HiSax (0)
HiSax: HFC-SX driver Rev. 1.1.4.1
HFC-SX: invalid chip id 0xf
HiSax: Card HFC 2BDS0 SX not installed !
isdnloop-ISDN-driver Rev 1.1.4.1

I'm baffled. It shouldn't be trying to use that driver with either card, but
attempting to compile the kernel without it results in a failed compile.

So if anyone has any ideas, or has a working .config for either of the
above cards, I'd be really pleased if they could point me in the right
direction.

thanks and apologies for the length of the post,

Steffen
