[asterisk-users] TE820 hardware detection

[Justin Killen]

I checked the version and it looks like it is up to date

[root at dozer2 dahdi]# asterisk -rx 'dahdi show version'
DAHDI Version: 2.6.1 Echo Canceller: HWEC
[root at dozer2 dahdi]# modinfo -F version dahdi
2.6.1
[root at dozer2 dahdi]# cat /sys/module/dahdi/version
2.6.1

On a whim, I went ahead and downloaded and built/installed dahdi 2.6.1
After that, I ran dahdi_genconf and it made entries for the card in /etc/dahdi/system.conf
I think perhaps it didn't have the proper firmware downloaded in the distribution, or it tried to download it during the install and failed (we're behind a web content filtering system, so sometimes things get blocked)

But still when I run dahdi_hardware, I still only see the TDM800P card

If you have Asterisk running you can get the version like:

  # asterisk -rx 'dahdi show version'
  DAHDI Version: v2.6.1 Echo Canceller: HWEC

You can see which version is installed in the modules (sitting on
the disk, not necessarily loaded into the running kernel) directory
like:

  # modinfo -F version dahdi
  v2.6.1

You can see which version is actually loaded in the kernel like:

  # cat /sys/module/dahdi/version 
  v2.6.1

And I'm with you on this one...
