Does anyone use dvbnet?
And knows how to enable the interface with ifconfig?
I thought dvbnet was some nifty thing I read about in a paper, but never save the code make it into the kernel.

But a quick Google search indicates I'm probably wrong.
It almost works. dvbnet is a little utility in dvb-apps.

Has some explicit steps.
Yes, I'm following those steps, but I can't make the interface be "UP".
ifconfig dvb0_0 hw ether 71:72:73:74:75:76 works okay.
But sudo ifconfig dvb0_0 10.0.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.255 up throws an error.
The high bit of the mac address isn't set.  Something in the back of my brain is flagging that. 
I'll try it.
Hmm.
The error I get is SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
Even though it shows up after with ifconfig dvb0_0

I was thinking of the Unix as vs m cast bit of the mac address

*multicast
Thanx. 71 may have been a bad choice.
Just a guess.
