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.

Sorry for misunderstanding, I thought diff were already into svn
version...

now:

dahdi_hardware rports:
pci:0000:05:00.0     wcb4xxp-     1397:08b4 BeroNet BN2S0

(better than before!)

modprobing now DOES create the 6 channels !!
 dir /dev/dahdi/

and dahdi_cfg :
dahdi_cfg -vvv
DAHDI Tools Version - 2.1.0.2

DAHDI Version: 2.1.0.4
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.

Changing signalling on channel 1 from Unused to Clear channel
Setting echocan for channel 1 to mg2
Changing signalling on channel 2 from Unused to Clear channel
Setting echocan for channel 2 to mg2
Changing signalling on channel 3 from Unused to Hardware assisted
D-channel
Changing signalling on channel 4 from Unused to Clear channel
Setting echocan for channel 4 to mg2
Changing signalling on channel 5 from Unused to Clear channel
Setting echocan for channel 5 to mg2
Changing signalling on channel 6 from Unused to Hardware assisted
D-channel

when make menuconfig (dahdi-tools) , I see

     [*] fxotune     
     [ ] fxstest        
     XXX sethdlc        
     [*] dahdi_cfg      
     [*] dahdi_diag     
     [*] dahdi_monitor  
     [*] dahdi_scan     
     [*] dahdi_speed    
     [*] dahdi_test     
     [*] dahdi_tool     
so something seems to be missing about hdlc: should I care about it ?

about dahdi service: it is not possible to start it, because it contains
errors.
under /etc/init.d it search a "functions" file (does not exist)

Than also lines starting with action should be deleted because action does
not mean anything to my box 

wiping out check about functions and removing leading statement action
works under my distribution, but perhaps I am missing something...

Now I will try to use the card from asterisk 1.6.1 svn
