Frontend autodetection works with recent CVS only, not in kernel 2.6.9 
vanilla drivers.

Airstar 2 uses mt352 frontend.

If your kernel has the mt352 module, you can try modprobing it. Without 
frontend autodetection you may have to (I had) use mt352 module option 
force_card=2

Yes, it will.

With current CVS the manual modprobing of frontend driver (mt352) is no 
longer necessary, modprobe skystar2 should be enough.
