In the meantime I have been able to get a PC for testing the card
and with 2.6.19.1 plus your patch dmesg says:

saa7146: found saa7146 @ mem e0856000 (revision 1, irq 9) (0x1894,0x002c).
saa7146 (0): dma buffer size 192512
DVB: registering new adapter (Satelco Easywatch DVB-C).

DVB: registering frontend 0 (Philips TDA10021 DVB-C)...

Does the "MAC addr" information come from the DVB-driver?
The "KNC1-0" at the beginning seems to indicate that and the
given "MAC addr" is not the one of my Ethernet card...
What is the meaning of that value?

Now I have tried to get any channels tuned in which has been a
problem. For DVB-T, channel information is widely available but I
have found no channel info to feed into kaffeine or dvbscan for
my cable provider, NetCologne.

Google pointed me to a channels.conf from 2003 under
http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=4662&threadview=1&hilight=&hilightuser=0,
but that does not help:

a) NetCologne has changed their channel layout since then
b) I have tried to use this channels.conf with xine, but on the
   attempt to tune in a station, xine simply hangs.

Can you see from the above dmesg output whether the card acutally
works, as I currently do not know whether I have a driver or
a configuration problem.

All the information about tuning in the linuxtv.org wiki assumes
that I already have some channel information file, which I
unfortunately do not have. Is there a way to do a full scan
over all channels?

Karsten
