Ingmar,
This is why I have resisted mISDN so much... I have NO WAY to really
test it. Our particular scenario is not a good example (I can at least
try to load the module), but beyond that I don't even have hardware -
let alone something to connect it to.
I would love to test this more, but at this moment in time I am
reluctant to test anything related to mISDN because it is literally the
only part of the system that I can't test. This combined with the clear
fact that mISDN is inherently more flaky than other parts of the system.
Your work with it has been excellent, but it is obvious that
mISDN/chan_misdn still isn't quite "stable stable". I have done
hundreds of builds over the months and mISDN breaks more than any other
single component - no doubt about it. I got so sick of it that I flat
out disabled it in the standard config. Even though only a very small
percentage of users actually use it, it seems to be the single most
often complained about "feature". Now that you have switched to
snapshots it should be better, but still...
The builds from the last few days were made solely for people to test
them. The announcement was only sent to astlinux-users (not even
announce) and they have only been provided in a directory on
mirror.astlinux.org - no mention on any website (except for DAN). I
purposefully wanted to limit their distribution to only people on this
mailing list that were interested in testing them.
Anyways - it appears that this is (hopefully) a simple linking problem.
I'll try to get the module to load when I work on it later tonight.
(I know that we need lsusb too).
