here is my story of not getting a port up to work with b410P under asterisk.
port 4 of that card is physically connected to an isdn-dect-phone an should
hence be driven in nt mode. ports 1-3 are left unused for the moment.
At first, I´ve unloaded unneccesary modules like zaptel, hisax etc.,
then after “misdn-init start” dmesg shows:

does anybody know what “register_sysfs failed” means in this context ?
despite this error, modules were loaded. continuing with:

then after starting asterisk:

I´ve already digged into the source of portinfo.c but did not understand
the meaning of these messages above. furthermore:

switching the port between ptp and ptmp in misdn.conf did not help,
neither did an increment of 4 of the rxgain/txgain parameters.
the led on the card is flashing green for a very short time when
trying to activate the port, but it remains red in the end.
has anybody made similar experiences and can perhaps indicate a solution ?
thanks in advance
