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

Tue Sep 13 17:50:01 MST 2005

Shawn Porter, just a few hours ago, after rmmod-ing hisax and 
modprobe-ing zaptel, seems to have success on FC4.  Still working good, 
Shawn?  I have heard of some other successful reports too on FC4, but I 
have heard rumors of instability/inadequacy for reasons other than udev 
I think.
