ISDN in Hoary (Ubuntu 5.04) and Breezy (Ubuntu 5.10)

To make isdn work in Hoary/Breezy you need to:

1. install linux-restricted-modules-$ARCH (to get the binary avm drivers), avm-fritz-firmware-2.6.10-3 (to get the firmware) and pppdcapiplugin. The first of those is installed automatically on Breezer during OS installation.

2. add capi to /etc/modules

PCI

  • hisax
  • hisax_fcpcipnp

2. reboot so that the avm/capi modules get loaded

3. Create the connection with "Desktop/Adminstration/Networking"

4. pon ppp0; poff should work now
