Status

Manu Abraham's saa716x driver delivers initial SAA7162 support. Exact status of this driver is not known as of 08.04.2009.

As there is support for the TDA10046, it should be easy to make this card work when the driver is ready.

However, the driver seems to have problems to read the EEPROM and seems not to be able to attach the frontend after entering the PCI IDs in saa716x_hybrid.c
