{{Note|In essence, this page is a "copy and paste" template which users should use when establishing a new device article within the wiki. Its intended purpose is to serve as the basis for the format/layout of device articles; thereby striving to establish a general consistency throughout the wiki.


A [[DVB-S2]] [[DVB-S2 PCIe Cards|PCIe card]] from [[Ex-IT! Information Technology GmbH]]
Usage:
* Once you have logged in, simply click the edit tab at the top of this page
* Then from within the editing box at the bottom of the editing page, copy the entire contents of this article
* From within the editing box at the bottom of the new device page you are creating, paste the copied content from the "new device copy and paste template"
* Proceed to fill in the information relevant for the device and delete the italic directional comment sections provided by the template (as well as this notice)}}

''First, if possible, we would like a good overall image of what the device looks like (Note: do NOT use proprietary images unless you have obtained permission to do so). Next, provide a brief summary of what the device is and by whom it is provided (include wiki links to the card type and the vendor -- and, ideally, after you have finished editing this page, you should add links from those pages back to this one). The last introductory piece of information is the all important indication of whether or not the device is supported under Linux. Here's an example:''<br />

An [[ATSC]] [[ATSC PCI Cards|PCI card]] from [[KWorld]].

The ATSC 115 is supported under Linux since kernel 2.6.24.

The current implementation is only capable of using one tuner and doesn't support the S2API.

Make sure that the external power supply is connected!!! 

$ tar xzf ngene.tgz
