[Asterisk-Users] BN8S0 Installation problem - 0 devices registrered

[Christophorus Laube]

That's right, mISDN only supports kernels up from version 2.6.9. So I see you 
did have to compile a kernel yourself. 
Beronet has a telephone number where they offer support. This is german one. 
They also have a support mail address, just have a look at their site 
http://www.beronet.com and choose english language if you do not speak or 
better read german.
I often phoned to Beronet and the support was great. If you can give them ssh 
access to your machine for a while and they will show you what to do. 
Another point of failure may be your jumper settings. The mISDN driver can 
only recognize wether the ports are jumpered TE or NT, not wether ptp or 
ptmp. This what you have to tell it. 
Again, just download the card_installation_guide.pdf from 
http://www.beronet.com/downloads. This helped me a lot.
