Due to the questions posted in the past few days, i'd like to drop a
short answer:

We have linux drivers running for the VisionTech Kfir card and presented
the card inside our streaming server solution at the IBC 2000 in
Amsterdam. We are going to release them in the next future (i assume,
2-3 weeks). Be patient and visit www.linuxtv.org from time to time
please.

Bye... SP.
