AVM Fritz!Card DSL

ActionNews · 2004-02-24 21:40:14

Hello!

I downloaded and installed ArchLinux today for the first time.
I've got a Problem with my AVM Fritz!Card DSL. I downloaded the Linux drivers from www.avm.de and followed the install instructions to compile the drivers for Archlinux ( extracted archive, make, make install). The drivers compile without errors. Then i configured /etc/capi.config . But then i should start "capiinit" but i couldn't find capiinit .

So does anyone know how i can configure my DSL-connection? I'd like to update my Archlinux with packman !

whereis capiinit

That'll tell you where it is? Don't know anything about the card, sorry.
And you're typing
capiinit start
as opposed to just capiinit?

if you manually compiled those drivers and did not use anything like ./configure --prefix=/usr then they likely installed to /usr/local and that execuatble binary is likely in /usr/local/bin. by default arch does not have /usr/local/ in its $PATH. you will have to manually add it and then logout then in. then you should be able to just type "capiinit".

That's the problem. It doesn't seem to exist:

whereis capiinit
capiinit:

I know capiinit form my SuSE Linux 8.2 installation. It's a script to start the drivers.

Here is the Readme for the drivers: http://www.pvr-actionnews.de/compile-help-english.txt

There is no ./configure-script (see Readme-Link).

"- The CAPI tools and libraries originate from the capi4k-utils package
(in the capi4k-utils-XXXX-YY-ZZ.tar.gz file at
ftp://ftp.in-berlin.de/pub/capi4linux/). Detailed instructions about how to
install the packet are also provided in the "readme" file locatedhere."

Ok.... capi-utils are installed !

capi.conf (copied from SuSE 8.2):

# card    file    proto    io    irq    mem    cardnr    options
fcdsl    fdslbase.bin    -    -    -    -    1

But when i try to start capiinit i get following error:

modprobe: Can't locate module fcdsl
Note: /etc/modules.conf is more recent than /lib/modules/2.4.21/modules.dep
ERROR: failed to load driver fcdsl

fcdsl.o can be found in /lib/modules/2.4.21/misc !
What could be the problem?

Hello!

I found this (german) WiKi: [URL]http://www.userchannel.de/wissen/docs/Fritz!Card DSL SL unter Linux[/URL]

Now it seems to work ! Seems like i had to edit src.drv/makefile a little bit.

:cry: After an Upgrade with "pacman -Syu" it doesn't work again ! I cannot connect because capi-utils only compile for pppd 2.4.2b3, but seems now after that upgrade ArchLinux uses now 2.4.2 (Final). But for pppd 2.4.2 don't exist any make rules in capi-utils :cry: ! SO do i have to wait till capi-utils work with pppd 2.4.2 or can i solve it somehow else?
