What is that message? I couldn't find it anywhere.

The message "Wrong number of endpoints" from line 487 of fpga_load.c?
Huh?

OK, let's go back a bit:

http://svn.digium.com/view/zaptel/branches/1.4/kernel/xpp/utils/fpga_load.c?r1=2736&r2=3106

This was not part of Zaptel 1.4.10 (.1), so on what version was it
removed?

svn ls -r 3106 http://svn.digium.com/svn/zaptel/tags | grep '^1\.4' | sort -t . -n -k 3 | tail -n 1

This returns "1.4.5.1/" .

So I suspect that the specific "Ubuntu" you use is 7.10, that has Zaptel
1.4.3 . http://packages.ubuntu.com/zaptel 

And why did fpga_load survive from the original package? Maybe you have
not isntalled libusb-dev before building Zaptel?

Bah. bashism (using PIPE_STATUS).

I think I need to replace it with something of the sort of:

(fpga_load ; echo $? >$status_fd )| $LOGGER
status=`cat <$status_fd`

But I need to test this a bit before commiting.


In the mean time, put the following as the first line of
/usr/share/zaptel/xpp_fxloader: "#!/bin/bash"
