I am having big trouble setting up ISDN. I'm a long-time ISDN user, I need this for connecting to some remote systems that do not have an internet connection. I always used my server for this, but due to a sudden breakdown of phone+dsl on that machine (which is far away, I have no physical access), I tried setting up ISDN on my machine here. BTW, all machines on which I have set up ISDN have AVM Fritz PCI cards. Trouble, big trouble. Normally, it should be just a matter of emerging fcpci for the fcpci.ko kernel module, emerge capi4k-utils, edit a line in /etc/capi.conf to define my card, then create a little config in /etc/ppp/peers, and set the PAP login data in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets. But that does not work now. net-dialup/fcpci does not compile, but I found a patch on bugs.gentoo.org, and the module seems to load file. Apart from a message ("IRQ 20/fcpci: IRQF_DISABLED is not guaranteed on shared IRQs"), but I saw thsi in some other howtos, so it's probably not a problem. But /etc/init.d/capi fails to start, when calling 'capiinit activate': ERROR: cannot open /dev/capi20 nor /dev/isdn/capi20 - No such device or address (6) This file is existing: crw------- 1 root root 191, 20 22. Jun 23:35 /dev/capi20 Changing permissions does not help. I also tried the other kernel modules, net-dialup/fritzcapi, but that does not build either - it does not find linux/auconf.h. Huh? I have this in /usr/lib64/klibc/include/ only. On other Gentoo systems, this should be in the kernel's include directory. Maybe 2.6.33 is too new for that? Then I tried mISDN, and guess what, it also does not compile at all. There is a bug report (#265581), but its over a year old without progress. So I downloaded mISDN and built it according to http://www.misdn.org/, which seemed to work. But I get the same capi error. So it's probably not a problem with the ISDN card kernel driver, but with the CAPI setup. I'm out of ideas. What's wrong with /dev/capi20? Wonko
