Ah thanks, I thought about that package, but did not fount it.

I have currently %define kernver %(eval "uname -r) and this works, but have
had other problems, I guess what you said would fix it. The ltmodem-package
should be very much the same, so I can look at them.

The package I try are proprietary drivers (like nvidia => LGPL-Wrapper and
proprietary object code to link it. (AVM ISDN card drivers) The resulting
binary-code would be anyway on club( if there is an interest) or a site I
have to create. (AVM allowed to me to build them and give them away for
download them, as long as I (or mandrake) making support for it (aka the
people don't complain them if my rpm is not working).So nothing for contrib.
Another modul I think of is "lzs_comp" a compression module for isdn, and as I
read because of the compression this module could have problems to with
licensing(because of the compression algo) to go in main or contrib.
But this may take time anyway as it is my first try ;)

I could only try to compile them against my current kernel (9.0 standard =>
2.4.19-16mdk)
What currently bothers me too are the isdn4k-utils, they have some problems
and I don't think there would be an update (3.1pre1 => 3.2pre3) unless I
don't complain massiv ;) I have made some suggestions about them, but I'm not
able to package such a big thing, at least not before release.
