I can't get Linux to load firmware of my ISDN card.

The number & version I only know if I open my PC, I think! There isn't no
reference on manual. If it will be really necessary, tell me, please.
It's a ISA card !
PCBIT-D is a active ISDN card, which means, that has a processor incorporated
so the main processor
don't have so "much work". I hope my english would be understood, in some way! :)
> - What kernel are you using (ISDN was more or less broken before 2.0.33)?
I'm using kernel 2.0.30 ! I never had PCBIT installed on my computer, but I
think that sincethe kernel 2.0.27 it already works !
On kernel the options to put are:
--------------------------------------
on Networking Options:
(...)
o TCP/IP networking - <Y>
o IP: forwarding/gatewaying - <Y>
(...)
on Network Device Support:
(...)
o PPP (point-to-point) support - <M>
(...)
on ISDN subsystem:
o ISDN support - <M>
o Support Synchrnous PPP - <Y>
o Use VJ-compression with... - <Y>
o Support generic MP (RFC 1717) - <Y>
(...)
o ICN 2B and 4B support - <N>
o PCBIT-D support - <M>
o TEles/NICCy101016/creatix.... - <N>
---------------------------------
Some options which are as modules I put "Y". I think that it isn't the problem !

On attachement, I send some files than I found on /var that could tell
something. There are, also, the bitd.hex which is the firmware to load doing:
pcbitctl -l bitd.hex
so i get:
1. Status check OK
2. stpd.{1,2} loaded
3.a linear write mode
3.c stpd.1 writen
3.d stpd.2 writen
4.a load mode
Loading BITD.HEX 2.0 (951108-114) Copyright INESC,OCTAL,PORTUGAL TELECOM
1993-1995
TIMEOUT i=3
load firmware - error in write:Timer expired

I didn't still this point - connect :(((
