Which Linux 8.0? What kernel-version? My comments below refer to a SuSE-7.3 Kernel 2.4.16-4GB. > Install drivers - not sure of the best version to use > cd /usr/src > tar -zxvf siemens_dvb-0.9.4-2002-06-23.tgz > mv siemens_dvb-0.9.4-2002-06-23 DVB Ok. > ln -s linux-2.4 linux > cd /usr/src/linux > After copying the correct config file for the kernel > make oldconfig #(is this needed ?) > make mrproper #(is this needed ?) > cp configs/kernel-2.4.18-athlon.config .config > make dep > make bzImage #(is this needed ?) > make modules #(is this needed ?) This is kernel hacking stuff ;-).

You can as well put all options including the -n switch into one single dvbtune-call.

VPN looks different than proxy. Which one do you use? With a proxy your provider takes care of the packet-flow, with vpn you'll have to tweak your routing to make your outgoing packets flow through the VPN-tunnel. Your outgoing ppp-devices do not need to know the ip of your dvb-card. Your sat-provider will handle the data-stream and route the returning packets to your dvb-device. This is why normally you get the MAC-Adress for your dvb0_0 from your provider or you'll be asked to provide this adress within your registration. echo "0" >> /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/dvb0/rp_filter > How to make the settings stick after reboot I'm not quite shure, since rp_filter is turned off in my distribution by default. Maybe if you echo 0 into /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/default/rp_filter.
