Problems with AVM B1 PCI v4.0 and SuSE Linux 8.2
Support knowledgebase (kkeil_b1v4_8.2)
Symptom
Your system is equipped with an AVM B1 V4.0 active card. When you try to start or use this card, an
error message about no CAPI device being found is displayed.
Cause
The B1 PCI V4.0 card uses the driver module b1pci.o and cannot be distinguished from older B1 PCI cards
by means of its PCI identification. Because of this, the start scripts address this card as b1pci, too.
Unfortunately, the driver has internally registered the card as b1pciv4, so it cannot be found
when activated through capiinit.
Solution
As a provisional workaround, execute the command capiinit start
as root without any
additional parameter.
The card will be started and can then be used. An update package for capi4linux will soon be provided
with
a new capiinit that solves this problem. Until then, the problem can be avoided as described above.
