Hello,

I would like to know if there is any intention to include this patch
soon? https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/244201/

Currently using 2.6.38 results in switching-timeouts on my S2-3200 and
this patch fixes this for good.

So it would be nice to have it in 2.6.39.

Thank you and best regards,

Hello,

I also have a Technotrend S2-3200. Bought it 4 years ago. Support for
Linux seemed to be close at the time. I was a bit of a fool for thinking
that. It's been on the shelf for most of the time.

Anyway, I've applied that patch, and it turns the S2-3200 from being
worth hardly more than a paperweight to a functional DVB-S card. I don't
understand why this patch does not get included.

Only DVB-S2 transponders don't consistently lock properly in kaffeine.
I'll test what "scan" does tomorrow, see if it's a kaffeine-specific
problem or not. But even just DVB-S working properly is a massive
difference for this card.

If it helps, I'll check the silicon version of my card tomorrow as well.

Best regards,

P. van Gaans

Hello,

Here I am again. My card can be seen at http://tinypic.com/r/2hewzyu/7

Chip:

C2L STB0899 VQ628NDY 220QQ VQ MLT 22 645

So far, scan-s2 won't compile: "scan.c:51:2: error: #error scan-s2 requires Linux DVB driver API version 5.0!" (I am doing something wrong undoubtedly) and I cannot find a way to make w_scan scan specific frequencies. It must be possible, but right now I can't figure it out. Scan doesn't support DVB-S2.

Perhaps someone else who has an S2-3200 can test this, if not, I will eventually get to it I guess, but I'm not entirely sure when.

Best regards,

Pim
