Support of ISDN Subsystem under Freebsd 6.x/7.x - amd64

Hello,

i will build a new System with Intel Q6600 Quad CPU and more
than 4 GB RAM.
I need a ISDN-Card into this System. Currently i have a AVM
Fritz!Card 
V1 PCI.

On the Hardware Notes of FreeBSD 6.2/amd64 are no
ISDN-Interfaces.

Have anybody a amd64 System with ISDN ?
Possible a Intel dual core or quad core ?

Thanks for answers.

Regards
Sascha Valckenier Kips

I haven't seen it myself but your card is listed in there.

Unfortunately i4b doesn't seem to support amd64.  Why don't
you try 
FreeBSD/i386 instead?

You will need either:

- i386/RELENG_6

or:

- i386 + C4B

or:

- amd64 + C4B + a bit of unsupported patches i can give you

or:

- Talk to hps if his i4b stack supports amd64



For 7.0 ISDN support is very limited because it lacks
locking.

Software is harder than hardware  so better get it right the
first time.

Hello Bjoern,

the i386 Version has a limitation with RAM. More than 4 GB
Ram into a 
System does not work with 32 Bit. Only the PAE Only is a
way, but the 
support for Devices with PAE is very bad.

The c4b can posible a solution.

Thanks for your answer.

Regards,

Sascha Valckenier Kips

This is a compile time tested version only. With this
C4B-1.1.1
compiles again HEAD (and I hope it would work as well). I
had
C4B-1.1.1 running on RELENG5/amd64 and RELENG6/amd64 with
older
version of that patch.

[In case Thomas reads this, do not include that patch as is,
in your
  C4B tree. Send me private mail and we'll do the PRIV parts
the right
  way.]

The above patch enables i4bcapimgr for amd64 as well. For
that to work
you need I4B support on amd64.


I have used (an older version of the following patch) to
make I4B
simply compile on amd64 and it worked well enough so that I
could use
isdnd as a call monitor along with a C4B supported card
installed on
amd64. I only tested with <4GB om RAM and no I4B
supported card in the
machine.

This is a gross hack! Nothing more. If you want to try it at
your own
risk, feel free. If anything breaks or crashes your system -
you have
been warned.

You may report problems on freebsd-isdn but don't expect a
fix or answer
any time soon.
