I thought the driver did load correctly, but when szap is called it
produces the following:

./szap -n 1
zapping to 'hotbird6':
sat 0, frequency = 11096 MHz H, symbolrate 27000, vpid = 0x0000, apid = 0x0000
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
opening frontend failed: No such device

This must be a problem with the KNC1, searching the list I find this
message http://www.linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linux-dvb/2003/01-2003/msg00149.html
that says, that the frontend does not get detected correctly. So I assume
this is still correct and the card is not supported :(

Next I will try the Technisat Skystar2 card, hope that this one does
work correctly.

Many thanks for all the help!

Holger
