Drivers
Binary driver (non-GPL) available here: http://www.technisat-daun.de/download/soft/soft_linux-driver_12-2008_6611.zip
There is a patch for the s2-liplianin driver that adds support for the SkyStar S2. Instructions (german) can be found here: http://vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=97096#post951944
The patch can be extracted from the file and applied directly to the mainline linux source. Works pretty well then.
No support for 8PSK 3/4. To support the need to replace the crystal oscillator of 45 MHz to 66,667 MHz
[Update 2014/04/22] With the latest patch / driver everything is working fine. Also 8PSK 3/4, no hardware upgrade is needed. The driver from Custler with latest adaption for 3.10 - 3.13 by Ducky ([[1]])
