Are there another drivers that >> support that card? Asus itself doesn't list this card on their site :-( BT have done exactly the same with their ISDN card, i.e. changed the chipset but not changed any of the product branding. Since Asus and BT were two of the manufacturers we used to rely on as being supported it's causing us some headaches getting working cards. I tried to make a start on converting the isa driver to use PCI probing but there was too much ISDN knowledge required that I don't have. The separation of the ISDN attaching and the newbus attaching isn't as clean as it should be and I couldn't unravel the two. I'll happily spend some time after christmas trying to get these cards working though if someone is willing to help me with the ISDN side of it.
