New page

== Requirement ==
You need a configured and compiled kernel tree with activated CAPI2.0 support available at
/usr/src/linux
(you may create a symlink with that name to your existant source directory). The kernel sources '''must''' be compiled. The configuration of the kernel must look like this:

<M> CAPI2.0 support
[*] Verbose reason code reporting (kernel size +=7K)
[*] CAPI2.0 Middleware support (EXPERIMENTAL)
<M> CAPI2.0 /dev/capi support
[*] CAPI2.0 filesystem support
<M> CAPI2.0 capidrv interface support

== Obtaining the FritzCard driver sourcecode ==
There are several sources available. You should search for one of these files:
*32bit: fcpci-suse93-3.11-07.tar.gz
*64bit: fcpci-suse93-64bit-3.11-07.tar.gz

== Modify kernel module sources ==
Open the file
fritz/src/driver.c
and edit at line 197: comment out the original call of "strncpy" and change/insert it as "lib_strncpy":
197 // strncpy (ctrl->manu, "AVM GmbH", CAPI_MANUFACTURER_LEN);
198 lib_strncpy (ctrl->manu, "AVM GmbH", CAPI_MANUFACTURER_LEN);

== Compile the kernel module ==
Change to the directory
fritz/
of the extracted package and call "make":
<pre>
os4xbox:/usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/fritz# make
make -C src
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/fritz/src'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.30_os4xbox/build SUBDIRS=/usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/fritz/src modules

CC [M] /usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/fritz/src/tools.o
CC [M] /usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/fritz/src/tables.o
CC [M] /usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/fritz/src/queue.o
CC [M] /usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/fritz/src/lib.o
LD [M] /usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/fritz/src/fcpci.o
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 1 modules
CC /usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/fritz/src/fcpci.mod.o

make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.30'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/fritz/src'
</pre>

After successfull compilation, install the kernel module (with the actual kernel running in the version your sources are):
<pre>
os4xbox:/usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/fritz# make install
make -C src
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/fritz/src'
make[1]: Â»allÂ« ist bereits aktualisiert.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/rpm/SOURCES/fritz/src'
for f in src/fcpci.ko; do cp -vf $f /lib/modules/2.6.30_os4xbox/extra/; done
"src/fcpci.ko" -> "/lib/modules/2.6.30_os4xbox/extra/fcpci.ko"
</pre>
Then execute
depmod -a

== Load kernel module ==
modprobe fcpci
will load the kernel module and the system kernel log will include an output like this:
<pre>

After successful loading, the tool "capiinfo" should output something like that:

== Verify OS4X usability of the ISDN controller ==
Start the tool "os4x_check_lcapi" in your [[OS4X_Core_configuration#binary_installation_directory|OS4X binary installation directory]]:
<pre>
os4xbox:~# /opt/os4x/bin/os4x_check_lcapi
OS4X local CAPI check tool v1.0

Available controllers: 1

Checking controller 1:
Available channels per controller: 2
B1 protocol: 0x11F
B2 protocol: 0xB1B
B3 protocol: 0xBF
B3 protocol X.25 available (OFTP ready)
</pre>
The message "OFTP ready" shows that this controller supports all needed protocols for OFTP.

You must then configure this CAPI controller via the web interface, menu "CAPI".
