[linux-dvb] setup and/or installation guide

[maestro <waggawagga@gmx.net>]

hi all,

just subscribed to this list and before i bother you with my questions i
wanted to introduce myself a little:
i live in vienna/austria and studiing computer science. 
i built a pvr running mythtv with a pvr250 (works great) and i wanted to
test the local broadcast companies (upc/telekabel) dvbc capabilities so
i got myself a brand new terratec cinergy 1200 dvb-c when i read on the
mailinglist that a driver was up to come. (i had a quick email with
Markus Schulz who added his changes into cvs)
so i got cvs co'd the source and compiled it for my 2.6.8.1 kernel
(compile went fine) after insmod.sh load i ran 
./czap -c channels.conf-dvbc-berlin Arte
but i get an error message:
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
133 arte:410000000:INVERSION_OFF:6900000:FEC_NONE:QAM_64:401:403
133 arte: f 410000000, s 6900000, i 0, fec 0, qam 3, v 0x191, a 0x193
ERROR: failed opening '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' (No such file or
directory)

i just tried the makelinks script and compilied a new kernel with the
drivers as modules they seem to load fine lsmod gives:

same error with czap

i checked the /dev directory and there isn't even a dvb subdir there so
no wonder the others are not found.

is there more preceise installation guide then the
dvb-linux-kernel/README for the dvb-linux driver that i can read to get
my feet wet with dvb?

another one: do i need firmware for the cinergy card if yes which one
(could not find a matching from the get_dvb_firmware scripts output)

thanks for the help
