I used skystar 1 with 2.4.x for a short time as you
described (with patching dvbd). It worked.
As I know dvbd sets MAC-address itself and overwrites
your settings. So show me your dvbd.conf.


this is one of the dvbd.conf i tryed

defaultgwdev ppp0
power 1
symbolrate 22000000
# ASTRA TR 115
frequency 12662750
ttk 1
diseqc 1
AFC 1
polarisation 1
filter_0 512

the other one is the dvbd.conf that comes with dvbd3 - modified for transponders.

do you bring up dvb0 or dvb0_0 ?...i

this is my dvb0_0 before dvbd

dvb0_0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:02:D9:9C:90:43
          inet addr:192.168.4.1  Bcast:192.168.4.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:4096  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Base address:0x200
and this is after:

dvb0_0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:02:D9:9C:90:43
          inet addr:192.168.4.1  Bcast:192.168.4.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:4096  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
          Base address:0x200
...it looks the same to me ...anyway i tested i put a wrong MAC then runned dvbd and then iofconfig -a dvb0_0 and it still shows the wrong address so i guess dvbd doesn't reasign the MAC..

is it correct that dvbd outputs only this repeating it forever ?

./dvbd

Fsync = 1073830436, Freq = 2062750000, Sync = 3221224184 Afc = 1073793184 Agc = 178 Nest = 16404 Vber = 1075104912


i'll show the script i use to load dvb drivers too

cd /usr/local/src/DVB-0.9.2/driver/; make rmmod; make insmod
cd /usr/local/src/DVB_network_activator
./network_activator 512
ifconfig dvb0_0 192.168.4.1
ifconfig dvb0_0 hw ether 00:02:D9:9C:90:43


network_activater is the little script i got from linux.org.by/articles

pinging 192.168.4.1 works ok ...so the dvb0_0 interface seems to work ok 

i don't know how to check for the signal strength. The dvb and dish worked before on the old server with rh 6.2 so the dish is well oriented.The only problem i guess is dvbd or MAC

Thank you
