Package: isdnutils Version: 1:3.6.2005-01-03-5 Severity: wishlist We have a Gigaset ISDN modem, which requires kernel modules AFAIK not available for Debian. Unfortunately, for reasons yet unknown, loading the gigaset-ser module at boot does not work (when isdn is going up, the module is no longer present). For this reason I looked for a way, to specify modules directly before/during isdn startup. I "solved" the issue by hand-inserting a "modprobe gigaset_ser" in /etc/isdn/init.d.functions since I could not find a pre-determined place (i.e., a config file) to achieve this within the isdn startup-scripts.
While looking at the documentation I was always refered to the HiSax-module/docu. So a first step in solving this issue would be to rewrite the docu (at least README.Debian) to be more independent of the actual modules used for ISDN and then to offer a way to load the module in an "official" way. If you, by any chance, have an idea *why* gigaset_ser could be unloaded I'd be glad to know, but this is clearly outside the scope of this report. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Versions of packages isdnutils depends on: ii ipppd 1:3.6.2005-01-03-5 PPP daemon for syncPPP over ISDN ii isdnlog 1:3.6.2005-01-03-5 ISDN connection logger ii isdnutils-base 1:3.6.2005-01-03-5 ISDN utilities, the basic (minimal ii isdnutils-xtools 1:3.6.2005-01-03-5 ISDN utilities that use X ii isdnvboxclient 1:3.6.2005-01-03-5 ISDN answering machine, client ii isdnvboxserver 1:3.6.2005-01-03-5 ISDN answering machine, server -- no debconf information -- Dr. Helge Kreutzmann, Dipl.-Phys.
