I noticed that was there, but I didn't try it originally because it's
obviously a beta version. However, I did download it and try it. It does
compile, but doesn't work correctly. For one thing, it thinks my Digium
card is an Ethernet controller:

# lspci | grep Digium
07:01.0 Ethernet controller: Digium, Inc. Wildcard TDM410 4-port analog
card (rev 11)

Attempting to start the dahdi service results in:

It basically looks like the dahdi service is not finding the hardware.

# lsmod | grep -i wctdm24xxp
wctdm24xxp            122880  0
dahdi_voicebus         73728  1 wctdm24xxp
dahdi                 241664  2 wctdm24xxp,dahdi_voicebus

So it looks like the modules get loaded, but don't actually work.
