I wanted to report that I have version 3.1 of the TechniSat
AirStar-HD5000-PCI working!
My base distribution is FC3. I downloaded kernel 2.6.13.2 from
kernel.org, patched with the hd5000.patch and did make oldconfig based
on the redhat fc3 .config. Everything complied and installed fine.
The patch complained a bit, but the complaints were of no consequence.
The one hunk that failed was a change made in a comment block so it
didn't matter. Here is the output:

At this stage, I followed the instructions in:

(Except for the step about nxt-2002 firmware. That is not needed)
Thanks to the developers!
