[linux-dvb] Re: newbe problem with Mandrake and Air2PC

[Niklas Peinecke <peinecke@gdv.uni-hannover.de>]

Hi,

bad news: This card is unsupported right now.
good news: You may get it running yourself! To do this, try the 
following steps:
1) Get the latest driver from CVS dvb-kernel branch.
2) Make sure, all necessary modules are loaded. To use the air2pc you 
need at least the dvb-core, skystar2 and the grundig_29504-401.
3) Then begin to modify the grundig module, read the following thread to 
get an idea what needs to be done. 
http://www.linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linux-dvb/2003/12-2003/msg00162.html
4) Post questions on the list.

It would be great if you could get this running.
