[*] Asterisk on FC5

Because of some backported changes in FC5's 2.6.15 kernel, zaptel is 
"busticated". After some digging around I found this page: 
http://whocares.de/ which basically says this:

Running Asterisk on Fedora Core 5

In case you intend to run an Asterisk server on Fedora Core 5 you may 
run into problems compiling the zaptel modules needed. The reason is 
that the Fedora team included some changes from the upcoming kernel 
2.6.16 into their version of kernel 2.6.15. Thus, the version check used 
by the zaptel sources will fail. To fix this, open the file wcusb.c in 
the zaptel directory and replace the line 1451

     #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,16)

with

     #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(2,5,16)

Actually, it doesn't have to be that exact line as long as the kernel 
version specified is below or equal to 2.6.15.


This worked for me!
