This page describes how to compile the Quicknet Linux Telephony Driver code release. Note these instructions will always refer to the latest snapshot available on the driver download page.

Full instructions on how to compile and install the driver are included in the snapshot file IXJ-DRIVER-HOWTO. The install procedure will work for both 2.2 and 2.4 kernels.

Build instructions

1. Download the ixj-x.x.x-src.tgz file from the Quicknet Linux Driver download page.
2. Run the GNU configure script with the command:

./configure

Fix any reported errors before continuing.
3. If you are using an ISA or PCI card, then build and install the drivers as follows. You will probably need to be root to do this:

make install

Once the drivers have compiled and installed, install the driver module using the command:

modprobe ixj

Check that the module has installed using command lsmod. You should see something like the following:

Module            Size      Used by
ixj              398972     0
phonedev         1824       3    [ixj]

If you do not see this, then check the file /var/log/messages for messages indicating why the install may have failed.
4. If you are using an PCMCIA card, then build and install the drivers as follows. You will probable have to be root to do this:

make install-cs

The driver should be automatically loaded when the card is inserted.
5. If you use the command cat /proc/ixj, you should see something like the following:
