[linux-dvb] CableStar2 dont work (2.6.13 + dvb-kernel CVS)

[Patrick Boettcher]

Hi,

Again, it seems I was too premature... :(

I probably won't have time to maintain the driver anymore (for the 
CableStar2) in the very near future (I already moved out of DVB-C 
reception area). I thought to put it to dvb-kernel CVS is the best chance 
for the card's support to survive and keep it working with current kernel 
versions.

I'm very sorry, I didn't want to produce any trouble. I thought it is OK 
to put it to CVS (as Andreas did it for his temporary version of the 
tda1004x).

What can you suggest to keep it "alive"? A different place in CVS? 
Somewhere at linuxtv.org at all?

A patch will be outdated soon and I had it for download (and kept it 
up-to-date) but no one have had the time and hardware to work on a merge.

best regards,
Patrick.
