Re: [asterisk-users] What can make G.729a codec hostid change?
Yes. Just the lone integrated NIC that's always been there. NO hardware changes. Still eth0 with the same MAC address. Do you have any additional, soft network interfaces defined? For example, have you enabled OpenVPN, and thus loaded either the tap or tun network-interface drivers? Do you have an IPv6-over-IPv4 tunnel defined (and thus loaded the sit driver)? Note that ifconfig will not necessarily show all of your interfaces (hard- or soft-) - only the active, configured ones. Take a look at /proc/net/dev and see if anything shows up, which ought not to. Also, check the ifconfig for each interface, and see if the HwAddr is exactly what you would expect. It's conceivable that your network driver changed, and is (for some reason) reporting a longer hardware address string (e.g. one padded with zeros). -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] What can make G.729a codec hostid change?
Hi, I don't have any g729 codec license. But by reading Barry's complaint I get to think that it is really unfair that Digium can't renew his license or something. I am a Debian user myself and I understand the need to upgrade from etch to lenny (and to squeeze in no time). Having a kernel built on purpose to remove some modules is out of line. A better solution needs to be provided in cases like these.

Re: [asterisk-users] What can make G.729a codec hostid change?
I've lost licenses because I'd modified my redondant dual-ethernet cards into two separate interfaces. I've bought the Digium G729 card even though my server could handle the load with software compression just to get rid of this potential issue. I'm quite happy not having to think about this. Obviously it may not be a solution for everyone.

Your old kernel loaded a Firewire-Ethernet module, which created an 'eth1' interface. Your new kernel is not doing that by default, but could probably be told to do so in the relevant modprobe configuration file. -- Kevin P.

The patent licencing terms for G.729 mean if you buy from someone (e.g. Digium) you are only licenced to run the implementation (software or silicon) they provided. If you want to licence some other code which is currently provided without patent licencing, you need to contact the licencing pool, and meet their conditions.
