Kenneth, the dst is not a frontend and moving it to other frontends will "hinder" the functionality of the card. The frontend is hardware based, and *no* software drivers for it AFAIK, nor the manufacturer. It is very much card specific and hence the structure. > > Made bt878.c be part of the dvb-bt8xx-pci driver, since there are no other > users of this module, at least as far as I know. > I created a twinhan-exp branch on the CVS and plan to move the development over there .. There are dst specific parts in the dvb-bt8xx module as it is a 878 based card, and not being a frontend, moving *any* dst specific code out of dvb-bt8xx would make my work irrelevant. It is very difficult for people to understand the driver, *without knowing what the hardware is*. The changes that was happening quite often, made my work *very difficult on the dst module*, especially frontend refactoring. I wasted quite a lot of time to get the module working *properly* at least for me, after fe refactoring.... I don't want to have the burden of a very expensive mistake again.... Manu
