[linux-dvb] Zero Traffic with SkyStar2 and EutelSat

["A. Sajjad Zaidi" <sajjad@zaidi.jp>]

Hello,

I've been working to get my net connection up and running on a Slackware
machine, using a TechniSat SkyStar 2 TV card for the past few days, but
am stuck at this point.

All the required modules (stv0299 and skystar2) are loading fine and I
can use either dvbtune or dvbnet to bring up the dvb0_0 interface. I
also get a 'FE_HAS_LOCK' when I do this.

Next, I use a dialup connection and lynx to connect to EutelSat's login
page which also works fine.

Everything upto this point works perfectly with both kernel 2.4.24 and
2.6.4.

Next, I try to use their proxy and nothing happens. The following
command just sits there doing nothing:

http_proxy="http://proxy.eutelsat.net:8080"; lynx <url>


while 'tcpdump -ni dvb0_0' doesn't give any output either.


This is the output of ifconfig:

dvb0_0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:30:6A:80:4E:DA
          inet addr:202.61.58.180  Bcast:202.61.58.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:4096  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Base address:0xbc2

 
and this is what my routing table looks like:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
202.61.56.7     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH    0      0        0 ppp0
202.61.58.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 dvb0_0
10.0.0.0        0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 lo
0.0.0.0         202.61.56.7     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 ppp0


I'm guessing it has something to do with the routing, but can't figure
out what. Do I have to give dvb0_0 the right IP or is that irrelevant?
If the former, what is the correct one? Anything else I should check?

Any help will be appreciated.
