I don't know the revision, and can't look at it as I've built it into my
machine, but this is a Fujitsu-Siemens CI I've bought last summer.

I have similar problems as you have.
The new LL firmware partially works with vdr 1.1.26. This means that
some encrypted channels works, some doesn't. No error message. Vdr runs
fine. A non-working channel means blank screen and silence.

With the old, non-LL firmware (CVS version updated today) now I can
start my CAM. As someone recommended here, make insmod, wait 10 secs,
start vdr. This works and all encrypted channels are working.
When I start vdr without waiting 10 secs, vdr reports outcommand errors
and an arm crash after a few seconds.

Slapic
