Hi,
could it be possible, that there is actually no way to get asterisk running with BRI Cards like Digium's B410PF or other hfc(multi) based chipsets in general and the Beronet's BNXS0 in special? The last one is very popular in the center of Old Europe. Without leaving the official portage tree I run into several traps.
According to Bug 265581 it's impossible to compile misdn with a recent kernel >=2.6.27.  But net-misc/asterisk-chan_misdn depends on net-dialup/misdn-1*, so there ist no chan_misdn way without compiling sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.26-r4.
The alternative net-misc/zaptel may work fine with any Digium or junghanns.net BRI card, but not with a Beronet BN4S0. The card only differs by device ID.

Applying this patch from http://blog.eth0.cc/zaptel-patchwork/ I got:

A brave piece of code. The card is detected as well as the position of the TE/NT DIP switches and the backside LEDs are flashing as expected. And thanks to asterisk for flexibility.
Now to the asterisk part. Euphoric about my success I run
and got
| Quote: | == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/zapata.conf': Found

I was not able to investigate if this bug is related to gentoo or asterisk. The USE flags for the installed packages are:
| Code: | net-misc/asterisk-1.2.35 USE="alsa curl speex sqlite ssl zaptel -debug -doc -gtk -h323 -hardened -lowmem (-mmx) -nosamples -odbc (-osp) -postgres -pri"
net-misc/zaptel-1.2.27-r1 USE="bri florz -astribank -ecaggressive -eckb1 -ecmark -ecmark2 -ecmark3 -ecmg2 -ecsteve -ecsteve2 -rtc -watchdog -zapnet -zapras" |
In opposite the 'pri_*' signalling methods work well if net-libs/libpri (without BRI support) is installed.
All the other hardmasked net-misc/dahdi-2.x and net-misc/asterisk-1.6.x stuff is too hot for me. Please tell me that I made a mistake. Otherwise I'm in dead end, isn't it? |

Nobody who needs to use that environment?! BRI is for Basic Rate Interface, the small sister of PRI. Nobody who's running:
I can't believe it! |

Thanks deeply for your response!
I got lcr running. But only standalone. I figured out, that asterisk has to be installed first. I took an actual source asterisk package of the 1.6 branch and afterwards I was able to compile lcr and the chan_lcr module. Then I remerged asterisk from the stable branch of gentoo (1.2*) and want to start asterisk, but with no success:
| Quote: | Oct 5 14:46:08 VERBOSE[28699] logger.c: [chan_lcr.so]Oct 5 14:46:08 WARNING[28699] loader.c: /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/chan_lcr.so: undefined symbol: ast_null_frame
Oct 5 14:46:08 WARNING[28699] loader.c: Loading module chan_lcr.so failed! |
I think lcr needs to be compiled against the asterisk version I want to run. Is there any chance to get a lcr version that fits with asterisk 1.2?

I'm in the same condition more or less, but with asterisk 1.6.1.6
I tryed to build by hand mISDN 1.2.0 with succes, basically i think it's only needed an ebuild for this version, older version does not compile with kernel 2.6.29 or later i guess. |

Any news on this? This is what I've done but I can't get asterisk 1.6.2.0 to emerge with the misdn USE flag (or is this not needed when using lcr to interface with misdn2?)
Compiled hfcmulti as module when making gentoo-sources-2.6.32-r1
git cloned misdnuser from the git repository and did make && make install
downloaded and untarred lcr-1.6 and ran ./.configure && make && make install
I don't think I came across any errors so far
then I tried to emerge asterisk-1.6.2.0 from portage but I get errors during configure:
| Code: | checking for mandatory modules: ALSA CAP DAHDI GSM ICONV IKSEMEL ISDNNET MISDN NETSNMP OGG POPT PRI PRI_INBANDDISCONNECT SPANDSP SPEEX SPEEX_PREPROCESS SPEEXDSP SQLITE3 SUPPSERV FREETDS TONEZONE VORBIS ZLIB... fail

configure: *** including --without-misdn.
configure: ***
configure: *** The SUPPSERV installation appears to be missing or broken.
configure: *** Either correct the installation, or run configure

Is this normal? Why isn't it able to locate misdn installation? Am I supposed to disable the mISDN use flag? |

Yeap, it's confirmed... I should use lcr to interface with mISDN2 so the misdn use flag should be disabled for asterisk...
The only issue is LCR creates /var/tmp/LCR.socket as owned by root:root and I have to manually change it to asterisk:asterisk. Oh and there is no init script for LCR so I have to add it to local.start with the fork option... |

Not wanting to duplicate work (i.e. I'm being a bit lazy at the moment!) has anyone written a howto on this?
I've just run into exactly the problem described above, with the added twist I'm building stuff on an ARM box  I've got the kernel behaving as best as I can tell:
| Code: | # uname -a
Linux armful 2.6.33-rc8-00099-g31a2de0-dirty #12 Mon Aug 23 20:15:36 BST 2010 armv5tel Feroceon 88FR131 rev 1 (v5l) Marvell OpenRD Ultimate Board GNU/Linux

Aug 23 20:31:51 armful kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver HFC-S_USB |
but getting misdn_user, asterisk, chan_lcr etc. to build could be entertaining... I've got "vanilla" asterisk running OK, but haven't looked at the ins and outs of building all of the required toys yet. Anyone have any recommendations?
Cheers,
Harry |
