AVM Fritz! DSL card

[Simon Keimer]

hi everyone,

does anybody of you use a Fritz! DSL card from AVM with Gentoo Linux?
Then I have two questions:

1) Why is my box freezing after approximately 20 hours with kernel 2.4.21?
2) Which files do I need to copy to my system from their drivers/software
package (it's not yet available through portage)?

After I get it to work I'm going to write an ebuild und also an up to date
ebuild for CAPI4Linux.

there is more GNOO in Gentoo

Hi,

Two months ago I had the dipleasure to get this card going under debian,
it's using isdn at the moment since the people I installed it for don't have
adsl yet, but it's not freezing under kernel 2.4.21, so maybe it's a dsl
thing.

As for which files you need to copy, for what purpose exactly>
Since you're not using suse, you need to recompile from src.drv (read
compile-help-english). When you have done this, you can manualy copy the
resulting kernel module (fc*.o) to /lib/modules or edit the script called
install to mirror the name of your kernel (edit the variables called TGZVER1
and TGZVER2) and it will do everything for you.

If you're trying to make an ebauild, I'd say you need all the sourcefiles
in the src.drv directory

If you run in to any more problems send an email, maybe I can help you out

There are already ebuilds for both. You can find them at http://gentoo-deutsch.berlios.de/inhalte/download/ebuilds_de/ under
net-dialup. I've tried them (shortly) a while ago with gentoo 1.4rc2 and they worked fine for me.
