There are a few ways to install our pci drivers, no matter which method you choose you only need to do it once for all Rhino cards including legacy cards. This means if you have followed these steps once and are simply adding a new card, no further software installation is needed.

Method 1.

If you are not using Trixbox or the Trixbox included Zaptel version.

First, determine your zaptel version:

modinfo zaptel | grep version
Next lets switch to the source directory and get the needed files and make some links. Note replace the x.x.x with your zaptel version.

cd /usr/src

wget ftp://ftp.digium.com/pub/telephony/zaptel/releases/zaptel-x.x.x.tar.gz

wget ftp://ftp.rhinoequipment.com/Drivers/rhino-1.1.0.tbz2

tar -xzvf zaptel-x.x.x.tar.gz

tar -xjvf rhino-1.1.0.tbz2

ln -s zaptel-x.x.x zaptel

Now If you don’t already have them install your kernel headers.

#check uname -r to see if your using a SMP kernel and use the appropriate line below.

#for smp

yum -y install kernel-smp-devel

#for non SMP

yum -y install kernel-devel

Now rebuild the module dependencies and for good measures a reboot.

depmod

reboot

You should be good to go.

Method 2.

If your using trixbox with the included zaptel version and you HAVE NOT upgraded zaptel you can simply install the rhino package:

yum -y rhino-`uname -r`

Thats it. Please note if you follow both methods above in conjunction you may see issues.
