and an extra PCI Bridge: PCI bridge: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family PCI Express Port 3 (rev 02)
Making it work
UPDATE: AFAICT, recent(-ish - after 3.6.x at least) kernels have support for DuoFlex C/T out-of-the box, but if you have a CI you will need the media_build_experimental drivers below. Also a more recent card (miniPCIe, or Cine C/T/S2 card) might require it. So, unless you have a CI, test in-kernel drivers first, then please report here!

This uses Sources from: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~endriss/ngene-octopus-test: - ngene: cineS2(v3/v4/v5), SatixS2, PCIe-Bridge, mini PCIe-Bridge - ddbridge: Octopus, Octopus LE, cineS2(v6) - DuoFlex-S2, DuoFlex-CT, CI
and from http://powarman.dyndns.org/hgwebdir.cgi/v4l-dvb-saa716x: - TT S2-6400
Compilable with Kernel 2.6.35 and higher (2.6.30 and below doesn't work for sure).
How to Compile:
1. Download modified media_build:
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/~endriss/media_build_experimental
2. Download Drivers and Compile:
cd media_build_experimental make download make untar
3. optional: deselect unused modules:
make menuconfig
4. Build Drivers
make
5. install modules
make install modprobe ddbridge modprobe ngene
Scanning for Channels
DVB-C:
w_scan -fc -c DE -t 3 -F > channels.dvb
DVB-T:
w_scan -ft -c DE -t 3 -F > channels.dvb
The C/T card has two frontends, frontend0 is QAM for DVB-C and frontend1 is OFDM for DVB-T.
