The word "load" is not the correct one here. The Astribank's span will
only appear once you run 'dahdi_registration on' . Normally this happens
in the dahdi init script, but you can tweak it to happen elsewhere.

Another option: if Dahdi 2.6 is an option (no idea if Sangoma supports
it): that version has an option to reserve span numbers explicitly for
specific hardware devices. With this we can do away with relying on the
load order. This is considered experimental (and I wonder how its
scriptary interacts with the Sangoma scriptary).

http://docs.tzafrir.org.il/dahdi-linux/#_span_assignments , but there
are better ways.

Let me know what you want to do.
