Back to Windows??
I'm busy with Linux every night, a week long, and still some thing does not
work: my graphics-driver, my isdn modem, my sound card....
Why am I pegging away with Linux? If I start the Windows Setup right now, my
system will work completely in less than 1 hour....
This afternoon I bought a box with Suse Linux 7 and a set of books.
It took me 2 hours, but now X Windows is running properly. But my printer is
not supported, and I have not yet configured my ISDN modem.
I'm feeling 20 years in the past, when configuring all peripheral hardware
was a specialist's job...
Or have I become dull by Microsoft's Plug'n Play.....

Well, as hard as it may seem, if it's not in there there's probably no
support for it.
Unless you're running a 2.2x kernel and 2.4.x has the support you need or
it's 100% compatible to another brand of isdn-modem.
What you can do is the following:
compile isdn-support as modules, compile hisax as module and include all
possible drivers for it, load the module wiht differnet cardtypes, check
dmesg-commandoutput if initialization was correct (if needed).
If it's a pcmcia-card, you have to check pcmcia-cs docs for more details
cause for those cards (at least in 2.2.x kernels) you need support
there. 2.4.x has that support in the kernel itself.
Also be sure it's a hisax-compatible driver at the first place and se if
there maybe another dirver in the kernel which will do the trick.
Ultimately, contact the hardware-vendor to see if they know if it's
supported.
success!
