Currently there is no support for kernel 2.4, and imho there is no good
reason not to switch to kernel 2.6. ;-)

It's not that easy. You have to add support for the LNBP 21 chip, modify
tuner initialization, use different 22kHz tone and DiSEqC routines...
With the 2.4 architecture, you have to patch the frontend driver.
It would make the driver more ugly and complicated.
Anyway, if someone comes up with a patch which does *not* break support
for other cards I will commit it to CVS.
