There are two ways to activate the network device. Somebody in Russia (I
believe) has invented a small tool named network_activator, which only
does bring up the dvb network interface on a given pid.
The second - and in my opinion preferable - way is to use Dave Chapman's
dvbtune utility. There you can tune your card to the frequency you need
and bring up the network interface in one step using the "-n" switch.
See www.linuxstb.org for details.
After dvbtune you ifconfig dvb0_0 and you're all set to receive ip
pakets with you dvb card.
Awfully, dvbtune does not work with the latest CVS-drivers. I use
CVS-drivers from May, 21st and it's working perfectly. I put this onto
the list some days ago, but did not get any response up to now.
