[Asterisk-Users] Eicon Diva - problems building new v3 melware driver

[Klaus Darilion]

Hi Armin!

With the new v3 package compilation works fine. But I still have 
problems when starting the config script:

'DIDD' driver load failed. Please check system installation
(kernel version, missing files)

Do I have to load any modules before? The Eicon Card is found by lspci:
