Hello Peter. Yes, I care. I'm running ASterisk zaptel on NetBSD, and I'm still running NetBSD-2.0, with the pre-port version of the zaptel and ztdummy drivers. I did some work on the stuff that went into the pkgsrc tree, corresponding with Jeff while he was doing the work, and I'd be happy to help out in any way I can, trying to answer specific questions, loading test drivers on a test box. Questions for you:
1. Are you trying to make something compatible with 4.x and higher, or are you still including 3.x compatibility? 2. What lead you to believe it was best to re-port the entire driver, rather than just patching the changes in? My understanding is that FreeBSD has evolved quite a bit in the interveening two years, and so if you could just distill what functional additions were made, it might be easier to just add those to the existing working infrastructure. -Brian On Sep 15, 1:57pm, Peter Seebach wrote: } Subject: Re: [Asterisk-bsd] NetBSD driver update: Help? } In message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Peter Seebach writ } es: } >If I load wcfxs, I generally get panics or hangs, and I don't think I } >understand the code entirely well enough to get a good start on debugging } >this.
