Hi all!
I'm trying to solve this for last 5 days and still nothing. I ran out of any ideas. This is what I did:
First, I installed Technisat SkyStar2 PCI card (rev. 2.6B with B2C2 FlexCop II chip) and fired up my little home server (2.6.21-1.3194.fc7) and then the troubles came :rolleyes:
I see that F7 loaded necessary modules:
[xxxx@server ~]$ lsmod | grep b2c2
b2c2_flexcop_pci 13720 0
b2c2_flexcop 31116 1 b2c2_flexcop_pci
dvb_core 79148 2 stv0299,b2c2_flexcop
i2c_core 24641 7 i2c_ec,via686a,stv0299,i2c_isa,nvidia,i2c_viapro,b 2c2_flexcop
I found installation instructions on this forum, but it is not very useful since F7 automatically creates this folders ( hmm maybe permissions isn't good?? )
[xxxx@server ~]$ ls -l /dev/dvb/adapter0/
total 0
crw-rw----+ 1 xxxx root 212, 4 2007-09-03 18:39 demux0
crw-rw----+ 1 xxxx root 212, 5 2007-09-03 18:39 dvr0

Didn't want to change anything there. What is very interesting is that szap and scan utils are functioning without a hinch, but when I try to startup xine (with xine dvb://) it simply opens the window and freezes (of course I've made channels.conf and the signal from satellite dish is fine). If I start program from a Applications menu, and then press DVB button on a panel, xine suddenly brake without notification! Further inspection leads to this:
[xxxx@server ~]$ xine
This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.5.
(c) 2000-2007 The xine Team.
AFD changed from -2 to -1
xiTK received SIGSEGV signal, RIP.
Aborted
With all other media, xine is functioning without errors, and xine-check leads to all [ good ] so I suppose it's not problem in xine. More info:
[xxxx@server ~]$ dmesg | grep b2c2
b2c2-flexcop: B2C2 FlexcopII/II(b)/III digital TV receiver chip loaded successfully
b2c2-flexcop: MAC address = xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
b2c2-flexcop: found the stv0299 at i2c address: 0x68
b2c2-flexcop: initialization of 'Sky2PC/SkyStar 2 DVB-S' at the 'PCI' bus controlled by a 'FlexCopII' complete
Tried to deal with this too, still no clue what is the right setup:
[xxxx@server ~]$ vim /etc/modprobe.conf
...
alias wlan0 rt61
alias skystar2 b2c2_flexcop_pci
alias eth2 usbnet
alias frontend stv0299
alias eth1 8139too
alias eth0 b2c2_flexcop_pci
And one more thing. F7 recognized this card properly (in System->Administration->Network I see Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card and there is ok next to it) as eth0. Is this eth device or what???? However, when I try to assign a eth0 with this card, I can't bring it to active state, and it gives me this message: "b2c2_flexcop_pci device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization."
How is it possible to use internet over satellite if you can't setup interface??? Totally confused :confused:
Please ask for additional info if you need. Thanx in advance.
