Hi there, I've got a TechniSat SkyStar S2 card. The Linux driver provided at vendor's website isn't suitable for recent kernels (2.6.34, in my case). So I use s2-liplianin which works fine and I don't have any problem with it. Well, I'm building a Linux embedded system using Busybox and Linux kernel 2.6.34 to capture a satellite transponder. Normally when we want a device to work, we identify the kernel modules needed for it and then we copy them to the target system's filesystem. But it doesn't work. I even desperately copied all the modules located in the /lib/modules/2.6.34/ directory to the target system, but nothing changed. # modprobe b2c2-flexcop-pci [ 289.593984] b2c2-flexcop: B2C2 FlexcopII/II(b)/III digital TV receiver chip loaded successfully [ 289.608068] flexcop-pci: will use the HW PID filter.
