Thank you for your answer. I've seen your identical comments before on
vdr mailing list and if such a tool was around I'd be happy to use it.
But I must agree with the earlier posters that this should be no reason
for abandoning the possibility to tune the pwm value through the driver.

So, wrong answer to my question: How should I be able to have the pwm
entries for Fujitsu-Siemens DVB-C cards in sysfs?

If there is no such way anymore, please let us know.

P.S. I don't think every Joe User of a DVB-C card is going to write a
"simple pseudo-i2c-client" for this..
