Symptom

With 9.1, Fritz DSL SL and Fritz DSL USB SL devices are not recognized.

Please note that this article relates to the 32 bit version. There are still no suitable drivers for the 64 bit version, and they can therefore not be run on the 64 bit version.

Cause

The implementation of the hardware recognition was not completed for 9.1.

Solution

Note: As the DSL devices from AVM use the CAPI driver, these devices are set up with the ISDN configuration from YaST.

Manually select the devices from the hardware list. To do this, start
YaST - Network Devices - ISDN, and select Other (not detected)
and click on Configure. A selection list is then displayed. Select your device from the list and follow the instructions.

Additional modification for USB devices

With the USB DSL SL devices, some confusion has been caused by the product IDs.

With root rights, change the ID of file /etc/hotplug/usb/ISDN.usermap:

 from 0x2700
to  0x3500

and in file /etc/sysconfig/isdn/scripts/hotplug_usb:

 from "57c/2700") # FRITZDSL!USB
to  "57c/3500") # FRITZDSL!USB SL

The error can also be corrected with an online update via YOU.
