  The card

Making it Work

Firmware

No firmware required.

Installing the driver

Foreword

Kernel 2.6.28 released on 24 Dec 2008 works with the mantis driver in the s2-liplianin repository.

The mantis-multiproto driver has been tested with Ubuntu Hardy (2.6.24?) on the 28.11.2008. CAM/CI is not working with current mantis for me. I have a crash when scanning or zapping with the CAM inserted. Take the CAM module out if you have one for the moment!

Install mantis driver

Recommended: install the latest mantis drivers like this.

sudo apt-get install mercurial
hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin
cd s2-liplianin
make
sudo make install
sudo reboot

Old mantis-multiproto repository intstructions. May not compile with latest kernels.

cd /usr/src
sudo apt-get install mercurial
sudo hg clone http://jusst.de/hg/mantis  
cd mantis
sudo make
sudo make install
sudo reboot

Remote Control Support

RC works after applying the following patch. See [2]

NOTE: I wonder why this patch has not been merged into the trunk. Does it break anything?

CI support

CI/CAM support for the optional CI module is not working yet (2024-11-27)
