[Dxspider-support] DRSI configuration

[John Buttery]

Thanks for replying, Bob.  The $PATH and position of the file were correct
but I have just downloaded v 3.0.3 and recompiled/installed the files
and at least I don't get 'file not found now'.  I've got to transfer the
DRSI cards from GB7WDX to the linux box soon and try configuration again
but not sure when, yet.
Thanks again
John, G7OPJ, SysOp GB7WDX

I've been wondering about this also.  All the information I have seen
seems to indicates that the SCC driver in the current kernels does not
support DRSI cards.  I suspect that during some driver update there
were some incompatible changes applied and the author did not have a
DRSI card with which to evaluate them.  It's probably fixable if
someone were to dig into the code.

You could get it to work with a system using a 2.0.x kernel, but I'm
not sure that would be a good way to go, as other things might break.

However, the message you got sounds more like a $PATH problem.
Could it possibly be/usr/sbin/sccinit?

For AX.25 problems, the best resource is the linux-hams list.  You can
subscribe by sending a message with the line "subscribe linux-hams" to
majordomo at vger.kernel.org.

cheers,

Bob, N7XY
