For Linux:

1. The Linux support for the ISDN PCI card comes with

the Isdn4Linux package. First, you have to
reconfigure the kernel to make the HiSax module be
compiled with “Support for HFC PCI-BUS cards”.

2. You can patch your kernel with the latest ISDN

kernel tree using the current CVS sources. Please
refer to

http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html

if you are not familiar with configuring and
compiling the Linux kernel.

3. If you compiled the HiSax driver as kernel module,

you have to load it with the following commands:

/sbin/insmod/lib/modules/2.2.10/misc/isdn.o
/sbin/insmod/lib/modules/2.2.10/misc/hisax.o

id=HiSax type=35 protocol=2

4. If the kernel loads the HiSax driver, output in the

message file will show up. Then, the hardware is
installed.
