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.

lanzaandrea: Hi! 
The patch is intended for other cards. You seem to have a HFC-S card (1
port). 

It's for 2,4 & 8 ports models (HFC-4S & HFC-8S). 

You can test with BeroNet BN2S0 (HFC-4S chip), but you might test it on
Asterisk 1.6.1 svn trunk because chan_dahdi in 1.4 trunk doesn't have bri
signalling

When you recompile it, please follow this order.
libpri -> dahdi-linux -> dahdi-tools -> asterisk

then if you make dahdi_genconf and dahdi_cfg -vv you might have basic
support. This creates /etc/dahdi/modules , /etc/dahdi/system.conf &
/etc/asterisk/dahdi-channels.conf
You might manually edit /etc/dahdi/system.conf and change dchan channels
to hardhdlc

span=2,2,0,ccs,ami
# termtype: te

echocanceller=mg2,4-5

It might look like this.

asterisk*CLI> pri show spans
PRI span 1/0: Provisioned, Up, Active
PRI span 2/0: Provisioned, In Alarm, Down, Active

Please report results. Thanks in advance
