[linux-dvb] SkyStar-1, network code and section packing

[Denis Fedorishenko <nuclearcat@nuclearcat.com>]

Hello everybody

I have question, maybe anyone can help in that.
Many of my customers have SkyStar-1 card (if i am not wrong, full
featured card), and they experiencing problem with receiving DVB/IP.

Problem is, when they trying to receive stream, just by setting
interface, it is running well at start, but suddently stopping
receiving traffic , after while.
There is also some feedbacks, that is stopping faster depends
of used bandwidth (more bandwidth - more faster it stopped).
After setting interface to promisc it is running again, but sure after
while stopping again (even if customer leave interface in promisc
mode).

In default mode i mean -
user: hw_sections = 1
encapsulator: section packing turned on (max 100ms delay)

If i disable section packing on encap - it is not making any sense
when hw_sections = 1.

Only one way, how i can make customer work good - it is when i turn
off section packing, and he turn off hardware sections filter(?)(hw_sections = 0),
but on this way i am loosing bandwidth, because of turned off section packing.

Is there any ideas?
Btw, there is alternative driver
(http://www.linux-dvb.tv/driver/index.html), who working with original Technotrend firmware,
it is working good, only one issue - it is unstable on some hardware
configurations, and locking up machine completely, and another issue,
it is not updated, to work on 2.6.
