+You need a kernel >= 2.6.0.
+
+The DVB driver in 2.6.0 is fairly up-to-date, so it's usable for most of
+the cards. 
+
+Three options:
+a) If you're satisfied with it and not interested in driver development 
+   and/or debugging, then you can stop reading here. This stuff is not of
+   interest for you and won't bring you further. 8-)
+b) If you'd like to use a more recent driver version, but don't want to 
+   hassle with CVS, have a look at the "patches-2.6" directory. There you
+   can find patches which sync the most recent 2.6 kernel with the CVS
+   driver. Simply apply these patches and recompile the drivers. That's it.
+c) If you want bleeding edge technology and drivers, read on:
+
+There is a script called "makelinks" which -- well -- makes links from the 
+CVS version of the driver to the kernel tree you supply on the command line.
+The driver from the kernel is erased, instead the CVS driver will be used if
+you compile your kernel again.
 
 1) Call "./makelinks <your-kernel-directory>. This will copy and link the
 driver files to your kernel, remove some old files, move some files around.

+2) Next, use "make menuconfig" or whatever and select the av7110 driver if

+
+The av7110 driver needs a firmware to work properly. You can download firmware
+files from http://www.linuxtv.org:81/download/dvb/
+The most recent version is dvb-ttpci-01.fw
+
 If you have problems with modules and 2.6.x you can also compile the driver
 statically into the kernel.
 
+*Pitfall*:  Normally, this firmware is loaded to the device by the firmware
+hotplug daemon when the module is loaded. If you compile the driver statically
+into the kernel this won't work. You need to enable the option "Compile av7110
+firmware into the driver" then and select the path to the firmware file. In this
+case, the firmware will be compiled into the driver as it used to be in former
+times.

 Build and install the new kernel as usual.
 
-If you copy an old ".config" from an older kernel version where you already
-selected the av7110 driver, some dependencies are not set up correctly and the

 Note: The "alps_bsrv2" driver is gone, please use the ves1x93 driver instead!
