I read something about an incompatibilty between the latest drivers(0.9.X) and dvb3 ... I have Red Hat 7.2 with 2.4.7 kernel on my server and i'm trying to connect to Europe Online. First problem i had after compiling drivers and insmod was that i was'n able to ifconfig dvb0 up - i was getting dvb0 no such device.After this i found a script on linux.org.by/articles/ called network_activator ..this one brings up dvb0_0 interface
ifconfig dvb0_0 192.168.4.1 ifconfig dvb0_0 hw ether 00:02:D9:9C:90:43 but i'm not sure that the MAC is correct while i did just as it sais there to put it like this 00:02:A:B:C:D where A.B.C.D is my internet ip. Anyway i compiled dvbd but it gave me some ioctl - invalid argument error when i was running it -> in this line ioctl(vid, VIDIOCSFRONTEND, &front) - i commented the goto finish; line so now dvbd it doesn't exit anymore . when i run it it outputs the freq and other parameters repeating itself. - i don't know if this is normal and if the ioctl that gives the error has any importance in data reciving from Europe Online sattelite... but any transponder IP i ping i don't get a reply ... so i ask Is it the dvbd that doesn't work becose of the VIDIOCSFRONTEND in /dev/video0 or thats only for video ? OR if dvbd works the way i modified it than is it the MAC that is wrong set? and finaly: Do i have a chance to get my skystar 1 card recive data from EON with kernel 2.4.7? 0.8.X drivers give me compilation errors Any extra info i could get would be usefull. I only need the DVB to recive data. Thank you __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!
