2.2.1 and Isdn4Linux

I had problems to compile Isdn4Linux package. After few compiles of kernel (2.2.1) and I4L -package i finaly made it ! So I wrote this page to help other dealing with same problem. This is not whole ISDN-setup, this is only about that isdn4linux compiling ! There are other pages with much more detailed instructions, so read them... ;)

So, here we go...

I heard that ISDN-code in 2.2.1 is older than in 2.0.36, so I had to upgrade it with this package.

Steps needed to compile working setup:
 

  1. tar xzvf isdn.tar.gz (This unpacks kernel-patch)
  2. cd isdn
  3. ./std2kern -d (This copies files to /usr/src/linux and its subsdirs)
  4. Compile kernel. (Refer to "Kernel-HOWTO")
  5. tar xzvf isdn4k-utils.tar.gz (This unpacks the I4L package)
  6. cd isdn4k-utils
  7. make config (there is quite good help-options with "menuconfig" -script. Use them.)
  8. and finaly  make;make install


That's it. Note: this was only for compiling setup, other pages are available to make things really "work" ! (Such as needed scripts, PnP setting etc. etc. No need to rewrite those...)
