The by far easiest way for the users is to simply take a vanilla kernel.org tarball and have it "just work". Most of my dvb/v4l stuff is in 2.6.12-rc now, especially the ts/dvb code, so with 2.6.12 we should be much closer to that goal. > Does anyone have a good reason why the standalone PCI bridge driver > should not be submitted for inclusion into the linux dvb tv project, > to simplify DVB product support? Having two drivers for the same hardware isn't a good idea IMHO. It's confusing for the users as well, and I'd prefeare to have _one_ well-tested code base. Also note that there are combo cards, which support both analog and digital tv. At the moment only using the saa7134 chip, but the cx2388x can do that in theory as well, and I wouldn't be surprised to see such cards soon ...
