Hello there,

I'm running an out-of-the-box Debian "sarge" installation. It comes with udev 
support. I did not select it. I guess, udev is installed by default.

Now I installed the isdnutils* and ipppd packages. 

Running "isdnctrl list all" gives the error
  Can't open /dev/isdnctrl or /dev/isdn/isdnctrl: No such file or directory

"lsmod" shows that kernel modules "hisax" and "isdn" are loaded. So obviously 
they do not support the new module class registering scheme that allows for 
udev to create the relevant special files in /dev.

I think there are several solutions to this problem:
- update the kernel modules to support udev
- the packet "isdnutils-base" provides an init script that creates the missing 
file nodes in /dev at startup
- maybe one can use modprobe.d to configure a script that is called after the 
isdn module is loaded

For the time being I work around this problem by manually executing:

# cd /dev && WRITE_ON_UDEV=1 MAKEDEV isdnbri && ln -s isdnctrl0 isdnctrl

Cheers
Daniel
