Hi all,

I'd like to know whether the new version of AVM FritzCard PCI is supported in recent (i.e. 2.4.7 and above) kernels. We have had a problem with Linux not recognising these devices, but no "old" versions can be purchased any longer.

Could please any of you driver wizards check this?

Thanks in advance.

I just happened to put a first development snapshot on

BTW: I suppose it'd be more appropriate to ask these kind of questions on the isdn4linux list (see the MAINTAINERS file)

The Fritzcard PCI2.0 does not have the usual Siemens chipset so it won't work with Hisax...but there are Capi4linux drivers at ftp://ftp.avm.de/cardware/fritzcrd.pci/linux/
Works with linux 2.4.x ...

AFAIK there is no driver available. AVM Fritz 2.0 uses a different ISDN chip (a proprietary one labeled with AVM), not the "good old Infineon PSB".

I tried both, AVM Fritz 1 and 2.0, version 2.0 is not supported in 2.4.5 - the older one works.

Consider buying an ELSA Microlink card, which BTW is also cheaper. Try http://cdb.suse.de

Nope, does not. At least not on Alpha machines.
