But I can say it did not work with patchset 1352, 1334, 1333, 1236, 1233 and 1224. Meanwhile someone else suggested to me to try the driver from the Metzler brothers. When loading them I get more information on the output: i2c-core.o: i2c core module i2c-core.o: driver stv0299 DVB demodulator registered. i2c-core.o: driver ves1893 DVB demodulator registered. i2c-core.o: driver ves1820 DVB demodulator registered. i2c-core.o: driver tda8083 DVB demodulator registered. dvb_register_adapter: registering new adapter (KNC1 DVB-S). saa7146_core.o: saa7146: bus:2, rev:1, mem:0xfca52c00. error reading I2C reg i2c-core.o: adapter saa7146 registered as adapter 0. av7110: SAA7113 not found on KNC card dvb_register_device: register adapter0/demux0 @ minor: 4 (0x04) - dvbdev: ecb03700 dvb_register_device: register adapter0/dvr0 @ minor: 5 (0x05) - dvbdev: ecb03800 dvb_register_device: register adapter0/net0 @ minor: 7 (0x07) - dvbdev: ecb03600 I now remember that I did try this driver earlier and later switched to linuxtv-dvb-1.0.0-pre3, since trying to use dvbtune did not work. I do remember dvbtune did talk once with the card but then too it would always return the error 'No such device' when trying to open /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0. Looking back in /var/log/messages I see that the frontend did load once but after a reboot never again: i2c-core.o: i2c core module i2c-core.o: driver stv0299 DVB demodulator registered. i2c-core.o: driver ves1893 DVB demodulator registered. i2c-core.o: driver ves1820 DVB demodulator registered. i2c-core.o: driver tda8083 DVB demodulator registered. dvb_register_adapter: registering new adapter (KNC1 DVB-S). saa7146_core.o: saa7146: bus:2, rev:1, mem:0xfca44c00. client_register dvb_register_device: register adapter0/frontend0 @ minor: 3 (0x03) - dvbdev: f6b52c80 i2c-core.o: client [stv0299] registered to adapter [saa7146](pos. 0). stv0299: tuner at 0x61 stv0299: attaching stv0299 at 0xd0 to adapter saa7146 i2c-core.o: adapter saa7146 registered as adapter 0. av7110: SAA7113 not found on KNC card dvb_register_device: register adapter0/demux0 @ minor: 4 (0x04) - dvbdev: f7066380 dvb_register_device: register adapter0/dvr0 @ minor: 5 (0x05) - dvbdev: f7066300 dvb_register_device: register adapter0/net0 @ minor: 7 (0x07) - dvbdev: f68e2580 Maybe my card is broken or it is a newer card with some other chips on it so it does not get detected reliable.
