[arm-allstar] 2nd node setup issue

[David McGough]

Hi Robert,

There is currently a kernel issue with the RPi4B boards. They only work 
with a single URI attached. If you attach more than one, both/all go 
"wonky."  I put a message about this on the https://hamvoip.org website 
back in June.

I did considerable testing back in April/May and confirmed is NOT a
problem with Asterisk/AllStar or the simpleusb driver.  It's a Linux
kernel problem.  I've tried fairly resent kernels (up through version
5.4.45) and the problem is still present.

I'll have a resolution for this problem ASAP. Since it's not a bug in the 
HamVoIP AllStar code directly, I'm still in a holding pattern.

For now, you can still use any earlier model RPi2/3 and they will work.

73, David KB4FXC
