I put the card back in my machine (I was also trying a TT S-1500 but I
guess that's broken or something), praying the KNC1 would at least give
me some clue. And it did, dmesg shows an infinite loop when a CAM is
inserted:
[ 327.100000] budget-av: cam inserted A
[ 327.356000] budget-av: cam ejected 5
[ 327.456000] budget-av: cam inserted A
[ 327.712000] budget-av: cam ejected 5
[ 327.812000] budget-av: cam inserted A
[ 328.068000] budget-av: cam ejected 5
[ 328.168000] budget-av: cam inserted A
Goes on all the time. When I get the card out of the cineview (fysical),
it stops.
More stuff I figured out: the ca is not "open" and times out. I tried
simply commenting out all the "if" thingies that can eject the CAM
(because after commenting out ejected 5 that means CA not open, it would
just give me ejected 1 that means -ETIMEDOUT). Now I got "dvb_ca adaptor
0: PC card did not respond :(" after trying to watch.
My personal guess is the KNC1 needs more time to initialize. I'll look
at it some more, but I'm not sure I can figure it out all by myself, so
if anybody can tell me some more...
By the way, I'm not really a programmer, but I can do a little PHP and
this looks somewhat similar :P.
Tia,
P.
