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.

hi Odicha.
I tried with :
dahdi-linux-svn
dahdi-tools-svn
asterisk-1.6.1 svn
and no patches aty all;

And using the Beronet 2S0 card; 
I also changed box, it is an opensuse 11.0 , kernel 2.6.25.20-0.1-pae

I see almost no changes:
dahdi_hardware reports:
pci:0000:05:00.0     qozap-       1397:08b4 Junghanns QuadBRI ISDN card

I have to manually edit system.conf because dahdi_genconf does not 
produce anything else than 
loadzone        = us
defaultzone     = us

so I added (as you suggested)
# Span 1: B4/0/1 "B4XXP (PCI) Card 0 Span 1" (MASTER) AMI/CCS
span=1,1,0,ccs,ami
# termtype: te
bchan=1-2
hardhdlc=3
echocanceller=mg2,1-2

# Span 2: B4/0/2 "B4XXP (PCI) Card 0 Span 2" AMI/CCS RED
span=2,2,0,ccs,ami
# termtype: te
bchan=4-5
hardhdlc=6
echocanceller=mg2,4-5

when I try do manually modprobe wcb4xxp -vvv, I don't see
any lins in dmesg....

 modprobe wctc4xxp -vvv
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.25.20-0.1-pae/dahdi/dahdi.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.25.20-0.1-pae/dahdi/dahdi_transcode.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.25.20-0.1-pae/dahdi/wctc4xxp/wctc4xxp.ko


in dmesg:
dahdi: Telephony Interface Unloaded
dahdi: Telephony Interface Registered on major 196
dahdi: Version: SVN-trunk-r6126
dahdi_transcode: Loaded.

no lines about wctc4xxp; then doing 
dahdi_cfg -vvv
DAHDI Tools Version - SVN-trunk-r6110

DAHDI Version: SVN-trunk-r6126
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) (Echo Canceler: mg2) (Slaves: 01)
Channel 02: Clear channel (Default) (Echo Canceler: mg2) (Slaves: 02)
Channel 03: Hardware assisted D-channel (Default) (Slaves: 03)
Channel 04: Clear channel (Default) (Echo Canceler: mg2) (Slaves: 04)
Channel 05: Clear channel (Default) (Echo Canceler: mg2) (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)

I didn't start asterisk, the problem is about loading the card driver.
under /dev/dahdi, I can see:

 dir /dev/dahdi/
total 0
crw-rw---- 1 asterisk asterisk 196, 254 Mar 12 10:57 channel
crw-rw---- 1 asterisk asterisk 196,   0 Mar 12 10:57 ctl
crw-rw---- 1 asterisk asterisk 196, 255 Mar 12 10:57 pseudo
crw-rw---- 1 asterisk asterisk 196, 253 Mar 12 10:57 timer
crw-rw---- 1 asterisk asterisk 196, 250 Mar 12 10:57 transcode

Is there any other module required, i.s. some hdlc package (???)
Is there anything else you want me to test ?
