I have performed the following sequence:
- Unplug the PRI. The green light stays ON!
- modprobe -r wcte11xp. Green light stays ON
- modprobe wcte11xp. Green light stays ON, ztcfg returns same error.
- power down. At last, green light off!
- power up. Red light blinking at about 1 Hz.
- re-plug the PRI. Green light on immediately.
- Asterisk won't start, known problem (ownership of /dev/zap should be
asterisk... Another thing for the owner of Makefile). Corrected; on
console, wcte1xxp says it sets/clears yellow alarm as Asterisk stops/starts.
So... The driver works in any kernel I have tried, but if the card gets
stuck, the driver won't take it out of that state. A power cycle, not
even a reset, is required to recover functionality.
Now asking at the Digium gurus, is this a software-correctable issue,
and if it is, when will it get corrected?
I don't think you can go to a customer and tell him to "reboot the PBX
if it doesn't work", like a windows 98, especially after shelling out a
nice amount for the card.
If anybody is interested in further testing or data, please mail me
directly.
Cheers,
