Hi all
As Mandrake 9 has embedded linux dvb in 3rdparty/dvb_modules/
I thought that this should work fine with this distro. By opposite I have discovered a number of problems : the modules are of the recent type
and install without problems except the fact that give another name to
/dev/dvb/<adapter-n> that is called /dev/dvb/<card-n> and to tuner module that it's called <tuner_dvb>. this way all standard programs cannot find what they need.
That's a pretty old version of the DVB driver. Tell the Mandrake boys that they should use a recent driver version from CVS.

about this? Some suggestion where to find documentation? On Mdk site
I found no news on this. I'm planning to ask to Juan Quintela, the packager of 2.4.19-16mdk, if anybody else here doesn't know anything.
Another (maybe silly) question: why, in the latest releases it's omitted
the tuner module? (Perhaps because in the present kernels it's just
present a tuner module?).
Right, in order to avoid conflicts. The frontend modules handle the communication to the PLL right now.

In fact, when modules are installed lsmod
doesn't show any tuner, but scan finds anyway some station: how?
see above, the PLL code is in the frontend modules right now.
