Hi, i need to know the mac adress of a dvb frontend (pci number would also be helpfull). I found no way to identify a dvb device by its frontend.

I looked at the dvb api code, and then i patched dvb_frontend.c, and frontend.h for my needs. Below are the changes I made. But the code don't works. I don't get the information I need.

My devices: Philips TDA10046H DVB-T Conexant CX24123/CX24109 Conexant CX24123/CX24109 Montage Technology DS3000/TS2020 -> works

The value dvbdev->adapter->proposed_mac seems to be empty, for some cards. But on driver load I can see a mac address for every dvb device I have. The mac address for these cards are outputted in function: void tveeprom_hauppauge_analog(...).

Maybe someone can help me. Maybe there is another way of determining a dvb frontend by PCI Bus or something. Identifying dvb devices can be very important on some situations.

Regards, onur
