I tried so now, but it didn't help...:

root at ubuntu:/home/max # /isdn-temporary-dev-fix.sh
root at ubuntu:/home/max # ll /dev/isdninfo
         lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           16 2004-11-04 01:26
/dev/isdninfo -> ../.dev/isdninfo

root at ubuntu:/home/max # lsmod | grep ppp
root at ubuntu:/home/max # modprobe ppp_generic
root at ubuntu:/home/max # modprobe ppp_synctty
root at ubuntu:/home/max # lsmod | grep ppp
ppp_synctty             9472  0
ppp_generic            27668  1 ppp_synctty
slhc                    7040  2 ppp_generic,isdn

 ipppd.
root at ubuntu:/home/max # Sorry - this system lacks PPP kernel support.
Check whether you configured at least the ippp0 device!

root at ubuntu:/home/max # lsmod | grep ppp
ppp_synctty             9472  0
ppp_generic            27668  1 ppp_synctty
slhc                    7040  2 ppp_generic,isdn

Nothing.
The only thing I find in /var/log/messages is
  kernel: PPP generic driver version 2.4.2
due to loading the ppp-modules above.

Where can I get these packages for Warty? (Especially mind that I have
to manually download them, as I don't have any Internet access yet on
my Ubuntu installation.) And what about "misdn"?
I cannot find them on the CD or in internet anywhere...

I don't know. If a driver-functionality is compiled into the kernel (as
I have always compiled my kernels with ISDN-support during the last
two years), I don't mind what the module would be called. ;)
Anyway, here is what Ubuntu has loaded currently (with the two
PPP-modules being loaded manually):

  # lsmod|egrep "(hisax|isdn|ppp|slhc)"
  ppp_synctty             9472  0
  ppp_generic            27668  1 ppp_synctty
  hisax_isac              8212  0
  hisax                 486224  1 hisax_isac
  crc_ccitt               2432  1 hisax
  isdn                  128236  1 hisax
  slhc                    7040  2 ppp_generic,isdn

Even if I try to load the hisax_pcpcipnp-module manually using modprobe
or insmod, the module never shows up as being loaded.

Cheers,
Max
