Good question, I have no idea ;P

Yes, it is the convergence firmware which is uploaded
to the card each time the kernel driver is loaded.

It would be possible. Windows version is better with
CI/CAM, so if you have a paytv abo you might try the
windows firmware if you don't get it to work with the
convergence firmware (patch at
http://www.linuxdvb.tv/). BUT: If you plan to use vdr,
there is at least one thing that is missing in the
windows firmware (afaik): the On Screen Display... and
vdr without on screen display isn't fun ...

btw: I'm no expert whatsoever in these things, I'm
only watching things and benefiting from the work of
others for my own private dvb hobby :) So if anything
in my blabbering is inaccurate, please say so ^^
