[linux-dvb] Re: How to change MAC bytes number more important

[Arcomano Roberto <berto@fatamorgana.com>]

I tryed to modify source dvbd.c: following the structure
_u16 data[16];
I found that (on each _u16 element) first 8 bit (MSB) are for MAC Address
while the other 8 bit (LSB) are for MASK. (MASK is intended for Hardware
Mask because Dvb card masks packets directly by its hardware without using
O.S.)
So I set all 6 words element (which ones used in dvbd.c source file for MAC
address) to zero, so I expect from it that ALL PACKETS have to reach O.S.
Under Windows environment I did the same (setting 0 in "Relevant MAC bytes"
in dvb utility) with the result that ALL PACKETS were sent to my OS, so
browser could take they it needs.
Under Linux, modifing dvbd.c as described before, I cannot view anything in
my dvb0 interface: I cannot understand why.
Thank you for assistance
