[Asterisk-Dev] Can't get TDMoE to work

[Patrice Vital]

Hi all,
http://www.convergence.com.pk/TDMoE-HOWTO

After following this How-to from the link above, and verify my config 
files for the Nth times that
they are correct as per the instructions ( and yes I made sure I'm using 
the mac of the OTHER server in my zaptel.conf ),
I'm still getting nowhere in trying to bring the TDMoE span up. when I 
invoke ztcfg on the server containing the zaptel interface, I keep 
getting the following error message in the /var/log/messages:


Apr  9 13:03:29 pc130 insmod: Warning: loading 
/lib/modules/2.4.18-14smp/misc/ztd-eth.o will taint the kernel: no license
Apr  9 13:03:29 pc130 insmod:   See 
http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted for information about tainted 
modules
Apr  9 13:03:29 pc130 insmod: Module ztd-eth loaded, with warnings
Apr  9 13:03:29 pc130 kernel: TDMoE: Invalid MAC address in: 
eth0/00:a0:24:4a:14:17
Apr  9 13:03:29 pc130 kernel: Driver 'eth' (Ethernet) rejected address 
'eth0/00:a0:24:4a:14:17'


I could notice 2 issues on the above, one a license complaint and an 
invalid ( and rejected )MAC address complaint.


The instruction from the above link states to "load the appropriate 
modules" and since I'm new to Asterisk I was wondering if someone can 
explicitly tell me which driver ( and the sequence ) to load to get 
TDMoE to work successfully. 
Or, is it a bug under the following SMP kernel:

[root at pc130 log]# uname -a
 Linux pc130 2.4.18-14smp #1 SMP Wed Sep 4 12:34:47 EDT 2002 i686 i686 
i386 GNU/Linux



Thanks

Pat
