what exactly do you want to know? As soon you can read/write attribute 
and i/o memory and check/set the status (module inserted or not, 
enable/disable TS bypass/decryption) you are done and can hook in any CI 
library, e.g. the one that comes as part of VDR or the one that has been 
derived from this by the MetzlerBros...

Is the Nova-CI hardware interface working on the link or the transport 
layer? Do you need to implement the link layer protocol on your own?
