[linux-dvb] TechniSat AirStar2 support

[Javier Marcet <lists-linuxtv@marcet.info>]

I've just added a DVB-T card to my formerly single TT 2.1 DVB-s based
system.
I assumed that The TechniSat would work since FlexCop's B2C2 chip is
supported. I forgot about the front-end, though.
The modulator is a Sam sung TDTC9251DH01C(M), or so it says a label
placed on it.

Am I right this is not yet supported?
Could someone help adding support for it? What would you need to know?

When I add the skystar2 modules, this is logged:

Sep 12 17:25:42 hiroshi drivers/media/dvb/b2c2/skystar2.c: FlexCopIIB(rev.195) chip found
Sep 12 17:25:42 hiroshi drivers/media/dvb/b2c2/skystar2.c: the chip has 38 hardware filters
Sep 12 17:25:42 hiroshi DVB: registering new adapter (SkyStar2).

And lspci -vv shows:

0000:00:0b.0 Network controller: Techsan Electronics Co Ltd B2C2 FlexCopII DVB chip / Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card (rev 02)

As you may see, whereas the TT DVB-s is recognized as a multimedia
device, the TechniSat DVB-t is shown as a network controller only. Is
this normal?

Just ask anything else you need to know from my setup.

And thanks in advance :)
