Package: isdnutils-base
Version: 1:3.9.20060704+dfsg.2-8
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

Please add documentation regarding module loading of i4l modules to the
package, maybe even a Debian.NEWS entry.

Since Bug#58851 <http://bugs.debian.org/588551> the i4l modules will not be
automatically loaded by the system because the PCI aliases have been removed
from the code. For HFC/HiSAX cards for example the mISDN driver hfcpci.ko will
be loaded instead, which of course is useless if you want to use i4l tools.

((
 Even worse: you can load the hisax.ko even while hfcpci.ko is loaded and vice
 versa. I have _no_ idea what will happen, if both modules are active and
 trying to use the same resources.
))

To use the old i4l drivers the admin has to blacklist the mISDN drivers.

I choose to put all this into one config file:

,----[/etc/modprobe.d/hisax.conf
| blacklist hfcpci
| options hisax type=35 protocol=2 id=line0
`----

Grüße,
Sven.
