Summary:                    [patch] Support for generic HFC-4S cards
Description: 
A patch to add some basic support of other HFC-4S -based PCI cards (such as
the ones made by Junghanns). 

Status: gets rid of the echo canceller messages when not needed, but still
needs work.

Specifically:
* It adds too broad a range of cards (which also include bero.net cards) 
* The range may include some 2-ports cards, which will probably not work.

Not yet tested to work, though it it is at least configured.

I see you are looking for testers. I am trying to use dahdi instead of my
years-running mISDN.
My box include 2 single span HFC cards, in TE mode (p2mp TE mode )

dahdi_hardware recognizes them as: 
pci:0000:00:09.0     zaphfc-      1397:2bd0 HFC-S ISDN BRI card
pci:0000:00:0a.0     zaphfc-      1397:2bd0 HFC-S ISDN BRI card

but dahdi_genconf does not produce any valuable configuration.
If I try to write by myself a "reasonable" system.conf:

loadzone        = it
defaultzone     = it
span=1,1,0,ccs,ami
span=2,2,0,ccs,ami

bchan=1,2
hardhdlc=3
bchan=4,5
hardhdlc=6

using svn trunk ( 6111) and giving :
modprobe wcb4xxp -vvv
dahdi_cfg -vvv

I get:
DAHDI Tools Version - SVN-trunk-r6110

DAHDI Version: SVN-trunk-r6096
Echo Canceller(s):
Configuration
======================

SPAN 1: CCS/ AMI Build-out: 0 db (CSU)/0-133 feet (DSX-1)
SPAN 2: CCS/ AMI Build-out: 0 db (CSU)/0-133 feet (DSX-1)

Channel map:

Channel 01: Clear channel (Default) (Slaves: 01)
Channel 02: Clear channel (Default) (Slaves: 02)
Channel 03: Hardware assisted D-channel (Default) (Slaves: 03)
Channel 04: Clear channel (Default) (Slaves: 04)
Channel 05: Clear channel (Default) (Slaves: 05)
Channel 06: Hardware assisted D-channel (Default) (Slaves: 06)

6 channels to configure.

DAHDI_SPANCONFIG failed on span 1: No such device or address (6)

The question is: should in principle my configuration be acceptable and
further testing is required/appreciated, or should I revert to mISDN ?

I also own a Beronet card, a duan span BN2S0 card: is better to test also
with that card ?

asterisk:1.4.23.2 (1.6 strictly needed ?)
libpri-1.4.9
dahdi-tools-2.1.0.2 or svn 6111
dahdi-linux-2.1.0.4 or svn 6111

openSUSE 11.1 2.6.27.19-3.2-pae

I also tested dahdi-tools-2.1.0.2 and dahdi-linux-2.1.0.4 with 
the here provided patches dated 9-3-2009 with no difference
