Appendix B - supported hardware

The term 'supported hardware' is somewhat misleading, since you can use any card with kISDN that can be used with isdn4linux. The only limitation is that kISDN cannot load driver modules for every card.

It can currently do so for the following ISDN adapters:

  • ASUS COM ISDNLink
  • AVM A1 (Fritz!Classic)
  • AVM B1 (experimental !)
  • Compaq ISDN S0 ISA card
  • Creatix/Teles PnP
  • Dr. Neuhaus Niccy PCI
  • Dr. Neuhaus Niccy PnP
  • Eicon.Diehl Diva ISA PnP
  • Eicon.Diehl Diva PCI
  • ELSA Quickstep 1000
  • ELSA Quickstep 1000PCI
  • HFC-2BS0 based cards
  • ITK ix1-micro Rev.2
  • MIC card
  • NETjet PCI Card
  • Sedlbauer Speed Card
  • Teles 8.0
  • Teles 16.0
  • Teles 16.3 (non-PnP)
  • Teles 16.3 PCMCIA
  • Teles 16.3c PnP
  • USR Sportster internal

For all other cards that are supported by later versions of HiSax, but that are not yet known to kISDN, a short email message with the subject 'HiSax support for xxxx' will suffice - support for that card will be added in the next kISDN release.

Generally the HiSax module can be loaded from bootscripts using modprobe (or manually) before kISDN is started; you can find a lot of information in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/isdn. Should your card have the Siemens chips "HSCX" and "ISAC" (zwei square chips) it is highly likely that they will be supported by HiSax sooner or later.
The configuration of plug&play cards is described in detail in Appendix C.
