What version of Zaptel is this?

A known issue. Should be fixed on next version. This should also cause
some problems to zapconf. Until then, use genzaptelconf.

"If lsusb shows the Product ID as 11x1 - only the USB firmware is loaded
and not the FPGA firmware is loaded. If this is still the case after a
while - either the firmware loading has failed or you don't have
fpga_load. Make sure you have libusb-dev(el) installed when building
Zaptel."

Do you have fpga_load built? If not: maybe libusv-dev[el] was not installed
when you configured Zaptel? If this is zaptel 1.2: you need to
explicitly run 'make -C xpp/utils install'

(that file is an HTML-zed version of the file README.Astribank from
latest SVN version of Zaptel)

Quoting the man page of zaptel_hardware:

    The second field shows which driver should handle the device. a "-"
    sign marks that the device is not yet handled by this driver. A "+"
    sign means that the device is handled by the driver.

Right. The firmware wasn't even loaded. When it will be, genzaptelconf
and co. will do their job.

But then again, it will not really be necessary.
