Once the module/firmware is loaded it's listed as two TeVii S660 cards.

Linux support

The s2-liplianin v4l branch includes support for the card.

From kernel 2.6.39 and above native support will be provided for the S480 Card.

Howto compile 

# these lines are only nessesary for building new version

# cd /usr/local/src/s2-liplianin 
# make distclean 
# make rminstall
cd /usr/local/src
# rm -r s2-liplianin.BAK
# mv s2-liplianin s2-liplianin.BAK
hg clone http://mercurial.intuxication.org/hg/s2-liplianin
cd s2-liplianin
make KERNELRELEASE=$(uname -r) -i -j4
make KERNELRELEASE=$(uname -r) install
make makelinks
reboot

The yavdr ppa has also a dkms driver for liplianin. Its not up to date but in a few days it should ;)

You must confirm to use the correct firmware from Tevii [1], wich normally is automatically installed by the driver: 

md5sum dvb-usb-s660.fw*
c359c7616f8dc637db49c5c9fb6c8a41  dvb-usb-s660.fw
c359c7616f8dc637db49c5c9fb6c8a41  dvb-usb-s660.fw.forum
2946e99fe3a4973ba905fcf59111cf40  dvb-usb-s660.fw.keep

We normally needs the last one dvb-usb-S660.fw.keep If there are different firmwares, try this way: 

cd /usr/local/src
wget http://www.tevii.com/s2_liplianin_1.tar
tar xvf s2_liplianin_1.tar
cd tevii_s2_liplianin-eb8a914cd499/linux/firmware/
md5sum dvb-usb-s660.fw
#2946e99fe3a4973ba905fcf59111cf40  dvb-usb-s660.fw
cp dvb-usb-s660.fw /lib/firmware/

Driver Status

27.02.2011 with actual liplianin tree from 27.02.2011:

  • DVB-S is working fine with fast zappings around 1s
  • DVB-S2 is working fine with fast zappings arround 1-2s
  • S3 is working, you have to unload/load dvb modules for the suspend and wakeup
  • without LNB Power the card uses 4,5W more with a 300W 82% powersupply BQT-L7 300W
  • tested with Astra 19.2/23.5/28.2 (Technisat triplesat twin dish and LNB): disecq works
  • tested with Kernel 2.6.32-28 (Torsten73) and 2.6.35 (Igor himself)
  • tested with Kernel 3.0.3 (Torsten73) for working without v4l or s2-liplianin
