It consists of the main module "isdn" and a set of hardware drivers that control specific ISDN cards. In addition, the package "isdn4k-utils" contains utilities to make use of ISDN-specific features. '''What is mISDN?''' mISDN is the successor of isdn4linux following the adoption of the CAPI interface with Linux kernel 2.6. Like isdn4linux, it consists of kernel modules (it has been rewritten from scratch). The following diagram offers an overview of the differences between the older kernel module architecture based on the HiSax driver and Terminal-emulation (ochre), and the newer mISDN architecture (blue) based on mISDN and the CAPI interface. http://www.heise.de/ct/04/03/182/bild.gif [[BR]] Sources: Gernot Hillier, Karsten Keil, [http://www.heise.de/ct/04/03/182/ Heimserver im Eigenbau], c't 3/2004; [http://www.isdn4linux.de/faq/i4lfaq-1.html ISDN4Linux FAQ] == Connect to the Internet using ISDN == attachment:IconsPage/info.png This tutorial has been successfully tested with the ISDN cards specified with the '''Hardware''' header in each section of the tutorial. It may work with other cards (or it may not). Please help to expand this page if you have tested this tutorial with a different card or if you can supply more information. [[BR]] ---- '''Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedghog) and Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)''' To connect to the internet with an ISDN card in Ubuntu 5.04 or 5.10, you will need to install the restricted kernel modules package (it contains the binary drivers for AVM ISDN cards), the AVM firmware driver package, and the pppdcapiplugin package. attachment:IconsPage/apt.png Install the '''linux-restricted-modules''' package that corresponds to your kernel version and system architecture (for example: '''linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12-10-386''' is the right package to use for the 2.6.12-10 kernel on the i386 architecture), the '''avm-fritz-firmware''' package that corresponds to your kernel version ('''avm-fritz-firmware-2.6.12-10''' for example) and the '''pppdcapiplugin''' package. (Note: The restricted-modules package comes pre-installed on Breezy during OS installation.) attachment:IconsPage/terminal.png Enable the "capi" kernel module to the kernel modules configuration file. To do that, open {{{ /etc/modules}}} in your favourite editor and add a line saying {{{ capi}}} [[BR]] attachment:IconsPage/eyes.png '''The following steps depend on the specific hardware you are using. Follow the instructions for your card.''' ----- attachment:IconsPage/IconNIC.png '''Hardware: AVM Fritz!Card A1 (2.0)''' attachment:IconsPage/terminal.png Create or open the file {{{ /etc/hotplug/backlist.d/isdn}}} and add the following two lines: {{{ hisax hisax_fcpcipnp}}} * Reboot. Confirm that the avm and capi kernel modules are properly loaded by typing {{{ lsmod}}} at the command line. ---- attachment:IconsPage/IconNIC.png '''Hardware: Fritz!Card PCMCIA2.0''' attachment:IconsPage/terminal.png The PCMCIA configuration file needs a few changes. Open {{{ /etc/pcmcia/config}}} in your editor and remove the line that says {{{ avma1_cs}}} * Add the following lines: {{{ device "fcpcmcia_cs" class "avma1" module "fcpcmcia_cs" card "AVM S0/PC ISDN" version "AVM", "ISDN A" bind "fcpcmcia_cs" }}} ---- attachment:IconsPage/IconNIC.png '''Hardware: Fritz!Card DSL USB''' attachment:IconsPage/terminal.png The capi configuration file needs changing. Open {{{ /etc/isdn/capi.conf}}} and add the following line: {{{ fcdslusb fdsubase.frm DSS1 - - - - }}} ----- attachment:IconsPage/eyes.png '''For all Hardware configurations:''' * Once the ISDN card is configured properly, we can use both graphical interfaces and command line tools to configure the network connection to our internet service provider. * For more on how to use the Networking control panel to set up your internet connection, see the Ubuntu Desktop Guide's [http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/internet.html Connecting to the Internet] section. * For more on how to set up and control your connection using command line tools, see [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto#head-69395fb95485fa3173cb9251f910f3d278ee59a7 Configuring the Dial-up connection to your provider] on the DialupModemHowto wiki page.
