No. 1.1.1 are for 2.6.4 (or 3) and won't work with higher kernels, you 
have to use dvb-kernel from CVS for >= 2.6.9 .

Sorry if I ask something already answered, but it was not obvious for me.

Do the VSDB errors happen with the skystar2 card? If so, it's is a known 
problem, but unfortunately not entirely solved yet.

The problem is, that suddenly no interrupts are created anymore. The only 
solution (but a very rude one) is to reset the flexcop-chip by reloading 
the drivers.

If the skystar is the problematic card, I suggest you to use dvb-kernel 
CVS. There is a new driver for the Technisat/B2C2 cards 
(b2c2-flexcop-pci). The VSDB-error still happens with that driver in some 
cases though, but maybe it helps in your case.

best regards
Patrick.
