Well, in that case I've got news for them, the current ISDN/hisax code as found in Alan Cox's proposed-2.2.11pre2 does _not_ pass the TBR3 conformance tests. And that is what most users will try first.
The CVS snapshot at www.suse.de fixes some of those problems, but the code still won't pass the Layer 3 conformance tests and I have had problems with the ISDN connection freezing when running the Layer 2 tests (which won't make the tests fail, but it requires manual intervention to get the tests going).
<RANT> My posts to the isdn4linux lists and Karsten Keil have not been answered so far. Which is kind of irritating, since I need that code working yesterday and would prefer to communicate with the official maintainers instead of doing a lot of unneccesary or duplicate work.
So it feels as if it is a closed development model and they still don't get the advantage of passing the certification tests.
I'm afraid I'll just have to do a lot of extra work and keep a parallel isdn4linux tree and merge it with the isdn4linux tree every now and then. *sigh* </RANT>
