From: Emil on 18 May 2010 12:30 I have half a dozen Quicknet cards in various countries which I use to keep in touch with friends and family. I also have a Quicknet PhoneJack which is an ISA card allowing me to place remote calls via the net. All these cards worked flawlessly for almost a decade paying for themselves many times over. The current kernel support for these cards is broken. They are not produced anymore so probably nobody will care about this message. It is surprinsing though that while there is no other alternative telephony driver in the kernel the only one present is broken. As I stated before I have various versions of Quichnet cards. The two listed bellow are PCI (1 port FXO) with the following chipsets - 1999: AM79R7OJC + Oxford Semiconductor OX16PCI954 + Xilinx FPGA + DSP CT8022A11AQC - 2003: MC145483 + Tiger 320 + DSP CT8022A11AQC Neither of them is working with the ixj kernel driver. The kernel driver compiles, the card is detected but the phone hook status is never changes and you cannot produce a dial tone (even if you try to force it). The driver that _does_ work with all my cards is this one: http://uglyduck.ath.cx/ixj-1.2.2.tar.gz http://nic.ath.cx/ixj-1.2.2.tar.gz Unfortunatelly this only compiles for kernel 2.4; you'll have to enable telephony support but disable the kernel IXJ driver and then this older driver compiles and works like a charm. I have tried on the same hardware kernel 2.4 + ixj version 1.2.2 works while kernel 2.6 + version 3.1.0 doesn't. While I know how to program in C, porting the old version to the 2.6 kernel is a to long learning curve for me so I guess this means back to linux 2.4 -- Regards, Emil -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

Most people moved to using winmodems and userspace driver stuff with applications like asterisk I think > I have tried on the same hardware kernel 2.4 + ixj version 1.2.2 works > while kernel 2.6 + version 3.1.0 doesn't. Do you know roughly what the last in kernel one that worked was - that should make it rather easier to pin down where/when it broke.
