Since I'm using 2.1.125-ac2 smp with the most recent CVS isdn4linux without
obvious problems I'm trying to give a small overview of the installation.
First you have to get the following two files:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/isdn4linux/v2.1/isdn.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/isdn4linux/v2.1/isdn4k-utils.tar.gz
Second you have to untar those two packages and switch into the newly
created dir ./isdn/
Now you have to run _sh std2kern -d_. Your kernel sources have to be in
_/usr/src/linux_. You might have to create the dir
_/usr/src/linux/drivers/isdn/diehl/_ and run the above script again. The
script will install the new isdn4linux version into your existing kernel
source tree. Next you have to install the new kernel. But check the options
you activate in your config because there are some new options available
(mainly it's the timeout-rules option which was added to the cvs tree some
time ago). Then compile the kernel and install it.
All you have to do to finish the installation is to build your new
isdn4k-utils. But be aware that the new version is not fully backward compatible
with the old isdn4linux code. So make a backup of your isdnctrl and
telesctrl. But it has become very ease to install the new isdn4k-utils.
Change into the corresponding dir and try _make config_, _make_ and
_make install_. Then you also have a new isdnlog which has a new format of
it's config file but you might want to read the included documentation by
then :)
Regards,
Jogi
