[linux-dvb] 2.6.9 kernel and udev

[Chris Steel <chrislinuxtv@yahoo.co.uk>]

Hi,

I'm trying to install a Hauppauge WinTv Nova-T card
with a Conexant chipset (CX23882 and CX 22702)

My PC started the week with a clean install of Suse
9.1. I've downloaded kernel 2.6.9 and patched it with
http://dl.bytesex.org/patches/2.6.9-rc4-1/All-2.6.9-rc4.diff.gz.
Then I updated /etc/udev as described in
/Documentation/dvb/udev.txt.

My newly built kernel looked fairly promising, with
the following output from dmesg:

Linux video capture interface: v1.00

Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision:

If I cat /proc/devices I can see the DVB driver
installed with major number 212. However applications
like dvbscan can't open /dev/dvb/adaptor0/frontend0. I
do seem to have gained 3 new devices though,
/dev/dvb0.net0, /dev/dvb0.dvr0, and /dev/dvb0.demux0. 

udevinfo -d gives
P: /class/dvb/dvb0.net0

P: /class/video4linux/video0

P: /class/dvb/dvb0.dvr0
N: dvb0.dvr0

but there's no mention of frontend, video or audio
devices.

I suspect that I've missed something obvious in the
udev setup, but please could someone tell me what it
is?

Many Thanks

Chris
