Restart

It often happens when upon restart system tries to unload zaptel drivers before unloading wanrouter drivers and system hangs up with kernel panic.

In order to avoid this in file /etc/rc6.d/K92zaptel comment out lines:

  stop)
       # Unload drivers
       #shutdown_dynamic # FIXME: needs test from someone with dynamic spans
       #echo -n "Unloading zaptel hardware drivers:"
       #unload_module zaptel
       #RETVAL=$?
       #echo "."

       #[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && rm -f $LOCKFILE
       ;;
 unload)
       # We don't have zaptel helper, so let's not replicate too much code:
       # allow others to use the unload command.
       #unload_module zaptel
       ;;

Errors
