What I mean is that it is no longer present in the package:
rpm -qf /lib/modules/2.6.18-164.11.1.el5/dahdi/dahdi_dummy.ko
kmod-dahdi-linux-2.2.1-1_centos5.2.6.18_164.11.1.el5

rpm -ql kmod-dahdi-linux-2.3.0.1-1_centos5.2.6.18_194.3.1.el5|grep
dahdi_dummy.ko

I used to build Asterisk from source including the zaptel-dummy module.
Last year I decided to upgrade and use a yum repository. I hoped that
this would be less hassle compared to manually chasing after the latest
release, compiling etc. And after every kernel update the modules need
to be recompiled. The yum flow does it all for me using this repository:

[asterisk-current]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Asterisk - Current
baseurl=http://packages.asterisk.org/centos/$releasever/current/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
#gpgkey=http://packages.asterisk.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-Digium

This is why I prefer not to compile and install anything outside of
yum/rpm.

So what you describe is probably what the package builders also need to
know. How can I report such an issue other than using this forum? I
don't think a private mail to the maintainer is the best option.

And although kmod-dahdi-linux-2.2.1-1 contains the dummy module, the
newer version of meetme still does not work. So that's a meetme
application issue I think.
