[App_rpt-users] Install fails at zaptel on Gentoo system

["Jeremy R. Geeo [KDØEAV]"]

Hey Ken,

Glad to see a fellow Gentoo(er) on the list.

I don't know if you require such a new kernel; but 3.1.0 is very new 
(especially for Zaptel).

Last I knew, (but this may have since been patched) the zaptel modules 
won't compile as-is on any kernel before 2.6.28 (ish - I may be off a 
version or two, don't remember). I've only succeeded in making it work 
up to 2.6.35 (becuase I DID need a newer kernel for hardware support). 
In 2.6.36 they drop support for the ioctl call 
(http://lwn.net/Articles/119652/).

I haven't followed (or caught up) on changes since about 2.6.36, so I 
don't know what has changed going into 3.0 and beyond.

While trying to refresh my memory, I did find this zaptel patch (which 
is actually for openWRT) which may be a step in the right direction for 
the 2.6.36 barrier...
https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/packages/libs/zaptel-1.4.x/patches/370-2.6.36.patch

I've also found it handy to go into the config on zaptel and disable 
many/most of the modules - I specifically only need ztdummy (and it's 
dependencies). In your case, I assume you don't need support for 
pciradio. Probably no sense troubleshooting that module if you're not 
going to use it.
