Will place a fan at my card and test it (lmsensors tells me my mainboard
temperature is 38°C)
- BTW, would be great if the LNB-output driver is only activated on demand -
makes the biggest heat despite it seems to be a switched power supply ;-( 

If it's really a design failure of the cards would be great if Siemens would
give us replacements ...

But as i mentioned before - it can be a scheduling problem, i'am currently up to
patching Kurt 2.0 into my kernel, but's a horror - they changed so much from
2.2.9 to 14 that it won't apply without rejects ;-(
If someone with an earlier kernel could verify it, would be great.
