Hopefully you are now using DAHDI so I'll just comment about DAHDI loads the 
drivers.

When you run "make config" in the dahdi-tools projects, a couple of different 
files are loaded that control the loading of modules.

/etc/modprobe.d/dahdi.blacklist is used to instruct udev to *not* automatically 
load the drivers when the system is booting.  All the DAHDI drivers that support 
hardware devices are listed there in order to eliminate race conditions when the 
register their spans with the core dahdi driver.  Even though the wctc4xxp does 
not register a span, it is there to remain consistent.

/etc/init.d/dahdi is the script that should be configured to run on boot to load 
your drivers and configure your spans.  This script reads /etc/dahdi/modules to 
determine which drivers it should load (by default, all the drivers are loaded).

So you will want to make sure that wctc4xxp is in /etc/dahdi/modules, and then 
run /etc/init.d/dahdi start to load the driver.

Cheers,
