Bug#780997: dahdi-source: OpenVox A400P with linux 3.16.0 and dahdi 2.10.0

[felix at salfelder.org]

Package: dahdi-source
Version: 1:2.10.0.1~dfsg-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

i recently upgraded upgraded the kernel. this got me from
dahdi-modules-3.2.0-4-486         1:2.6.1+dfsg2-1+3.2.63-2+deb7u2
to
dahdi-modules-3.16.0-4-586:i386   1:2.10.0.1~dfsg-1+3.16.7-ckt2-1
as far as i can tell nothing else has changed.

now my hardware (and asterisk) refuses to work with 3.16, while everything is
still fine after rebooting to 3.2.

        Kernel driver in use: wctdm

a problem is reported when loading the module. during boot i get

[  251.981207] dahdi: Version: 2.10.0.1
[  251.999619] dahdi: Telephony Interface Registered on major 196
[  252.461238] dahdi: Warning: Span WCTDM/4 didn't specify a spantype. Please fix driver!

upon "/etc/init.d/dahdi restart" i get the same messages again. i do not know
what a spantype is, or how to fix the driver. anyway, the location of the
source is drivers/dahdi/dahdi-base.c
[..]
   if (span->spantype == SPANTYPE_INVALID) {
      module_printk(KERN_NOTICE,
         "Warning: Span %s didn't specify a spantype. "
         "Please fix driver!\n", span->name);
   }
[..]

dahdi_scan does not print anything (i think it should know about the card),
dahdi_cfg -vvv prints

"""
DAHDI Tools Version - 2.10.0.1
Timeout waiting for all spans to be assigned.

DAHDI Version: 2.10.0.1
Echo Canceller(s): OSLEC
Configuration
======================


Channel map:

Channel 01: FXS Kewlstart (Default) (Echo Canceler: oslec) (Slaves: 01)
Channel 02: FXO Kewlstart (Default) (Echo Canceler: oslec) (Slaves: 02)
Channel 03: FXO Kewlstart (Default) (Echo Canceler: oslec) (Slaves: 03)
Channel 04: FXO Kewlstart (Default) (Echo Canceler: oslec) (Slaves: 04)

4 channels to configure.

DAHDI_CHANCONFIG failed on channel 1: Invalid argument (22)
Selected signaling not supported
Possible causes:
        FXS signaling is being used on a FXS interface (use a FXO signaling variant)
        RBS signaling is being used on a E1 CCS span
        Signaling is being assigned to channel 16 of an E1 CAS span
"""

and in the log i get
[ 5857.734447] dahdi_ioctl_chanconfig: No channel for number 1

the span related "Timeout" looks related to the missing spantype...

i'd be happy to provide more information. i do not know where to look right
now.

thanks
felix
