Hi Jeremy, Yep, love Gentoo. It's the best! hihi! Thanks for all the good info. It can take ages to Google and muddle your way through all this stuff sometimes and there's no point in trying to re-invent the wheel when others have already traveled these roads and know the answers. So, we've commented out a few things and emerged the dahdi stuff and the "make install_usbradio" now works and Asterisk is up again. In terms of Asterisk, we basically did this... 1. install dahdi, dahdi-tools and libpri using Portage 2. stop your Asterisk package from building libpri and zaptel 3. prevent building some Asterisk modules that needed extra deps or didn't like the new gcc 4. remove the ztcfg line from the init.d script because it's not needed 5. set the dahdi init.d scripts to start on boot However our next problem is that the TDM card is not working even though it's detected and started correctly. And none of the DMK URI radio dongles are flashing or working. So I need a shove in the right direction again sorry. Are there some lines in some of the configs that need changing to point stuff at Dahdi instead of Zaptel perhaps? 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.
