misdn-init: init-script to auto-configure and load the mISDN kernel drivers =========================================================================== This script makes it easy to configure and activate mISDN compatible adapter cards. It scans an eyecandy config file named misdn-init.conf for your card and port settings, then it loads the driver modules properly. The misdn-init.conf can also be autogenerated by the misdn-init script. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Usage: /usr/sbin/misdn-init start|stop|restart|config|scan|help --start scan /etc/misdn-init.conf and load the mISDN drivers --stop unload the mISDN drivers --restart see stop, then start --config scan your PCI bus for mISDN compatible hardware and generate a /etc/misdn-init.conf --scan scan your PCI bus for mISDN compatible hardware and print the results to the console --help print the usage info --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Here is a quick overview on how to use misdn-init: 1) Get and install misdn-init: $ wget http://www.beronet.com/downloads/chan_misdn/stable/chan_misdn.tar.gz $ tar zxf chan_misdn.tar.gz $ (as root) cp chan_misdn/misdn-init /usr/sbin/misdn-init 2) Let misdn-init scan your PCI bus for mISDN compatible hardware and write the results into /etc/misdn-init.conf: $ (as root) /usr/sbin/misdn-init config 3) (optional) Edit /etc/misdn-init.conf and set everything the way you want it. This file is heavily commented, hence it should be self-explaining. 4) (optional, but recommended) Add misdn-init to your run level. This is distribution dependend. Here an example for a debian system: ATTENTION: If you have services in your runlevels that depend on mISDN, make sure that misdn-init starts before, and stops after them (this is done by changing the values that are set to 60 in this example, more info: read the manpage for update-rc.d). $ (as root) update-rc.d misdn-init start 60 2 3 4 5 . stop 60 0 1 6 . 5) Run the following to start mISDN: $ (as root) /usr/sbin/misdn-init start --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Report Bugs: If you experience any bugs or have a feature request, please visit: www.isdn4linux.de/mantis
