[cooker-amd64] isdn card not working

[Arie Folger]

Hi,

I have an isdn card from Acer with a Cologne chip, which I tested on my Amd64 
hardware with Fedora Core 1 and there the thing works. Still, although all 
the required modules seem to load on Mandrake amd64 RC1, I cannot activate 
the interface. isdn net xxx ippp0 (where xxx is a command that I forgot. 
That's the downside of not being able to connect to the net using the machine 
that has trouble, anyway, the command is specified in the docs for isdn4net, 
which is a set of tools for isdn which come with RC1) returns a error message 
saying that it cannot find /usr/bin/ipppd.

Now Fedora uses a different frontend altogether (to tell you the truth, I 
couldn't figure it out. I can start the interface with the gui, but the gui 
is unaware of the success, and won't shut the interface down. /sbin/ifconfig 
properly queries the interface, but /sbin/ifup|down doesn't know what to do 
with it), and doesn't have an ipppd binary.

Did anybody on list manage to make isdn work on RC1? Any tips? Note that lspci 
- v shows that the interface is properly configured.

Your help shall be appreciated,

Arie
