problem activating my pci isdn card
Hello all,
I ' m facing a problem activating my isdn card in my red hat 9 and I would really appreciate your help in this.. I am not an expert, so please excuse any evidence of ignorance.. When I first ran Linux, it found my isdn card ( AVM PCI (FRITZ!PCI v2)) and installed it perfectly. Then I tried to make a new connection to the internet. I selected the card ,typed login password etc, saved and rebooted. During the boot procedure I get the error: Bringing up interface ISDN0 (failed) I logged in, tried to activate, nothing happened. Viewing system log I read: modprobe:cannot locate module char-major-45 ifup-ippp:cannot list ISDN devices I typed $/sbin/modprobe -l |more to view all isdn modules. They follow: /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/avmb1/avm_cs.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/avmb1/b1.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/avmb1/b1dma.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/avmb1/b1isa.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/avmb1/b1pci.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/avmb1/b1pcmcia.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/avmb1/c4.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/avmb1/capi.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/avmb1/capidrv.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/avmb1/capifs.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/avmb1/capiutil.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/avmb1/kernelcapi.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/avmb1/t1isa.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/avmb1/t1pci.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/eicon/divas.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/hisax/avma1_cs.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/hisax/elsa_cs.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/hisax/hisax.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/hisax/hisax_fcpcipnp.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/hisax/hisax_isac.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/hisax/hisax_st5481.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/hisax/sedlbauer_cs.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/hysdn/hysdn.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/icn/icn.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/isdn.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/isdn_bsdcomp.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/isdnloop/isdnloop.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/pcbit/pcbit.o /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/isdn/tpam/tpam.o my /etc/modprobe.conf file is lilke this: alias eth0 8139too alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx alias usb-controller ehci-hcd alias char-major-81 bttv alias usb-controller1 usb-uhci alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394 alias sound-slot-0 cmpci post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : After seeing the fourth line ( char-major-81) I believe I need to write an alias command like this alias char-major-45 <module> the problem is that i have no idea what module to choose from the above listed..! Can anyone give me a clue how may i find this out? Will it fix my problem? Thanx in advance! |
Have a look at
less /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help /Fritz Yes, I know ... I could have posted the answer :} But then you probably wouldn't remember where to look the next time you're hunting down drivers. Cheers, Tink |
still (2 months after..) haven't found any sollution!! I checked the documentation and realized that the module I was looking after is hisax.
In file readme.hisax I found the specific "modprobe command" for my pci fritz isdn card. It's : /sbin/modprobe hisax type=27 (doesn't need any other parameters..). the type number stands for my card. Results: The reaction of my modprobe command, viewed by system log is like this: Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: CSLIP: code copyright 1989 Regents of the University of California Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: ISDN subsystem Rev: 1.1.4.1/1.1.4.1/1.1.4.1/1.1.4.1/1.1.4.1/1.1.4.1 loaded Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: HiSax: Linux Driver for passive ISDN cards Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: HiSax: Version 3.5 (module) Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: HiSax: Layer1 Revision 1.1.4.1 Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: HiSax: Layer2 Revision 1.1.4.1 Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: HiSax: TeiMgr Revision 1.1.4.1 Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: HiSax: Layer3 Revision 1.1.4.1 Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: HiSax: LinkLayer Revision 1.1.4.1 Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: HiSax: Approval certification valid Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: HiSax: Approved with ELSA Microlink PCI cards Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: HiSax: Approved with Eicon Technology Diva 2.01 PCI cards Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: HiSax: Approved with Sedlbauer Speedfax + cards Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: HiSax: Approved with HFC-S PCI A based cards Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: HiSax: Warning - no protocol specified Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: HiSax: using protocol EURO Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: HiSax: Card 1 Protocol EDSS1 Id=HiSax (0) Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: HiSax: AVM PCI driver Rev. 1.1.4.1 Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: FritzPnP: no ISA PnP present Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: FritzPCI: No PCI card found Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: HiSax: Card AVM Fritz PnP/PCI not installed ! Mar 25 00:35:10 localhost kernel: ISDN-subsystem unloaded which makes obvious that my card isn't installed!! Next I viewed the system devices in kde. I saw there that my card is installed and that the device driver was hisax_fcpcipnp. This is really messy! and when I try to connect to internet I still get the errors: modprobe:cannot locate module char-major-45 ifup-ippp:cannot list ISDN devices Have I done something wrong? Do I miss anything here? Please help..... |
