Dennis, I am currently in the process of cleaning up a public GPL'd driver released by Siano for the SMS1010 / SMS1150 silicon. This driver functions correctly with Siano's reference design hardware. This is a generic driver that should probably also be backwards compatible with the SMS1000 silicon used in your device. I posted the work-in-progress to the following location: http://linuxtv.org/hg/~mkrufky/siano Please note: This driver has been publicly available on linuxtv.org for the past three weeks -- I recommend taking a quick look through the individual development repositories before starting to write a brand new driver, to prevent double-work efforts. Please also note: The driver has only gone through basic testing -- I would not be surprised to find bugs in the code, and there is a plethora of codingstyle violations. Please feel free to send me patches against that repository to support your device -- I will be happy to integrate them for you, although you should be prepared to rebase your tree when I push up the next round of updates / cleanups. It makes more sense for you to add support for your device, rather than writing a new driver from scratch, especially considering that the driver I have comes directly from Siano, themselves.
