[Asterisk-Users] Fedora Core 4 not recognizing X100P cards

Tue Sep 13 16:37:00 MST 2005

We had our share of problems with the Fritz Card on
FC4. Everything was OK except the speech was one-way
in the outgoing direction. We spent days on it and
couldn't find a solution to it. We discovered that the
device nodes were not created correctly by udev.
Enough was enough, we switched to SuSE 9.2 and within
a day everything worked beautifully without much
effort. I think FC4 has some serious problems with
udev (some even claimed that it's not stable release)
and I have never seen anyone successfully ran Asterisk
on it.

If you have a choice, switch to SuSE or other Linux
distribution such as Debian.
