At the weekend I wrote an email about Twinhan's release of linux drivers
for their cards:
http://www.linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linux-dvb/2004/10-2004/msg00914.html

In the archive of the drivers, there is a twinhan_ca.c . I had a short
look, it looks quite comprehensive even though I don't know much about
CI/CAM levels.

best regards,
Patrick.
