Hey,
From what I've read the BT Speedway ISDN card is a right pain to get working in Linux, so I'd be grateful for any advice and help you could give me generally to get it working.
As well as this, I have a specific problem to start with:
I need to enter the following in drakconnect/Mandrake CC Network bit, but I don't know where to find the values.
Card IRQ
Card mem (DMA)
Card IO
Card IO_0
Card IO_1
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks.
[Edit]
I've installed the patch on the Mandrake 10 Errata page (
http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/errata.php3#drakisdn). This has made no difference, unfortunately.
I get this error (labelled FATAL) on bootup:
Sure enough, 'modinfo hisax' says it isn't there.
When I use Mandrake Control Centre's Network area and try to configure an ISDN connection I also get an odd error. I have 3 options presented to me (an '*' means a radio button, or whatever it's called):
Code:
* Manual Choice (Internal ISDN Card)
Net Device * External ISDN Modem
* A1 ISDN Adapter (Fritz) //I believe the BT Speedway card is this rebadged
Selecting any of these and pressing 'Next' gives me a 'Warning' box saying the following:

Sorry, we support only 2.4 and above kernels

Eh? I doubt Mandrake 10 uses a kernel less than 2.4 since 9.2 used one higher than 2.4!!
I'm starting to wonder whether it would be better to just buy a new ISDN card that isn't so much trouble. I read somewhere that the BT Speedway is a 'passive' card, which presumably means that it's like a software modem? (i.e. it uses the CPU to do things instead of doing things itself). I don't know if this is the case though.
So, if I was to get a new card, (I'll probably be buying one for a new PC soon anyway), what one would you reccomend?
