A1200P on Ubuntu 9.10

You must compile the a1200p driver from source code, the deb packages don't have our A1200P driver.

hi:
it is better to get a source from our website, maybe you have to patch the pciid to detect the card.
please give Mr. Denins.den ssh, he will check for you.

Thank you for the answer.
The problem with compiling your driver (which I did successfully in the previous installation), is that I lose the integrity of the debian packages (when they will be updated in the future). In fact this is what happened with the previous installation: they have updated the kernel and then the module was not updated to the new version of the kernel (no dynamic load of modules).

How do you explain that the opvxa1200.c file is listed on the dahdi-linux package as specified above. See another reference to that: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/karmic/dahdi-linux/karmic (look for "openvox", "opvxa1200.c" and you will see recent references for inclusions of that).

I believe the solution is somewhere around this package. The only question is how...?

Thank you for your help.

I check this link:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/karmic/dahdi-linux/karmic/annotate/head%3A/drivers/dahdi/Kbuild
it lost one line which used by opvxa1200.c, please add one line in this file:
obj-$(DAHDI_BUILD_ALL)$(CONFIG_DAHDI_WCTDM) += opvxa1200.o

This is still not working. I have updated the Kbuild as required, re-build the package and installed it, but it fails to work (opvxa1200 module is not loaded).
Any other idea how to make it work? I prefer to work with Ubuntu packages in order to rely on their reliable update mechanism. If I do the compilation myself, then I won't be able to use the Ubuntu service.
Just a thought - can I do just the dahdi-linux compilation and install all others from the Ubuntu packages?
Best,
YBZ

yes, you can just compile dahdi-linux and apt-get other packages, but please download the same version of dahdi-linux from asterisk.org
