Making it Work
Make sure that the external power supply is connected!!!
Firmware
$ wget http://www.digitaldevices.de/download/ngene_15.fw $ cp ngene_15.fw /lib/firmware/
Device [18c3:dd00] needs Firmware >= 18
$ wget http://l4m-daten.de/downloads/firmware/dvb-s2/linux/all/ngene_18.fw $ sudo cp ngene_18.fw /lib/firmware
Driver
$ hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/ $ cd v4l-dvb $ make $ make install
Also supported by the s2-liplianin v4l branch.
On RHEL / Centos / Scientific Linux 6.x the card works with video4linux driver RPM >= 20110208_132512-98.el6 from ATRPMS Repository.
