Hi Guys, Well another week rolls by and although the Asterisk is running here the TDM card and all DMK URI interfaces still remain offline basically making us uncontactable this end. I am wondering if there are any plans to update Zaptel to work with the newer kernels that don't have the IOCTL stuff? Or perhaps fix the Dahdi bugs? Regards, Ken - vk4akp .-.-.

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/370-2.6.3...
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.

well, thats just all well and wonderful except that DAHDI DOESNT WORK! Yes, it *STILL* has the *SAME* *STUPID* bugs in it that I had to fix in Zaptel. It isnt going to work for a radio project stock.
