It's amazing what one can do with proper frontend hardware :-) > The patch has a few small improvements easily acceptable for inclusion, > but there are two issues: > 1) added a new ioctl (as other frontends may support the same > functionality, I don't think it should be very controversial) > 2) brutally hacked the symbol_rate parameter; I use low values > (0-0xfff, well below symbol_rate_min) to ask for auto symbol rate; > I don't see an easy and elegant way to achieve abstraction from > hardware (this is very mt312 specific) without sacrifying > functionality (such as multi frequency ranges) or seriously extending > the API (set min and max symbol rate separately, at minimum). If we could come up with a proper API I would add this to CVS immediately. However, I don't know about the scanning features of the mt312, mt352 or other frontends. Is there someone who does?
