You mixed up 2 things.
The Junghanns QuadBRI board comes with a driver qozap.
This means it's a zaptel device. Not a CAPI device.

the chan_capi is merged with BRIStuff. This means you no
longer have to download and compile chan_capi manually when
you want to use a CAPI board with bristuffed asterisk.

As you can see those two things have nothing to do with
eachother. the quadbri is still a zap card. It's simply more
convenient when you want to support only one version of
asterisk and you have sites with quadbri and sites with CAPI
hardware. (or sites with both quadbri and capi hardware in
one machine)

cheers
