hi there simon ive not bothered with isdn-init i use some modprobe magic 
to sort out the mess here it is ... edit the flags as required.i agree 
this is not ideal and most drivers should have a default ill take this 
under advisement and when there is some time ill look at setting it as 
default.this recipe plays nicely with hotplug and friends.
