HiSax: new cards

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 5.1
Kernel: Version ab 2.0.31

New supported cards in the HiSax driver

The version of the HiSax driver that is contained on S.u.S.E. Linux 5.1 (and 5.0) is 2.1 . However there exists a newer version that supports additional ISDN cards.

This version (HuSax 2.5) is not stable enough to be used as the standard driver. Even though the driver ran smoothly on test machines it is not yet released.
Expect problems :

Please only use HiSax 2.5 if you really need it because of new drivers.

List of new cards :

# Type   ISDN-card                Required parameters
# ----   ---------------------    -------------------------------------------
#   10   ELSA PCMCIA              irq, io  (set with card manager)
#   11   Eicon.Diehl Diva ISA PnP irq, io
#   11   Eicon.Diehl Diva PCI     no parameter
#   12   ASUS COM ISDNLink        irq, io  (from isapnp setup)
#   13   HFC-2BS0 based cards     irq, io  
#   15   Sedlbauer Speed Card     irq, io  
#        (= Teledat 100)
#   16   USR Sportster internal   irq, io  
#   17   MIC card                 irq, io  
#   18   ELSA Quickstep 1000PCI   no parameter

Activating the new driver :

The new module is already contained in S.u.S.E. 5.1 (package kernmod). However it will be installed under another name (hisax-2.5.o).

Just rename the new module :

cd /lib/modules/2.0.31/misc
mv hisax.o hisax-2.1.o
mv hisax-2.5.o hisax.o
Further changes to the system are not necessary. The init scripts are already prepared for this. However you cannot choose the new card types in YaST. You have to set the parameters in /etc/rc.config manually (see the comments near I4L_TELES_TYPE).

Trouble ?

If you have trouble with the new driver, then please first check out http://www.suse.de/Support/sdb_e/isdn_trouble.html .

The newest drivers can be found at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/isdn4linux. Please read the README : ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/isdn4linux/README.

Support for the Teles 16.3c is also available there.
