[Asterisk-Users] Zaptel module load errors under stock Fedora Core 2 (2.6.8-1.521 kernel )

[Sean Kennedy]

Thank you, Adam.  I think I see how to do that ( the kernel Makefile has 
that version information. So either I just change that and recompile 
zap, or I have to recompile the kernel AND zap.  As long as it works, 
I'm happy ).

Question:  I can force the zaptel module to load, but I can't force the 
wcfxo module.  Would this indicate that it's not finding the hardware 
card, or would this module load regardless of the hardware in the machine?

Thank you again.
