Something seems to be wrong with your system time. Please use e.g. DVB to 
set it :).

Additionally your actual mail was kind of strange, I only found your text 
in an attachment.

Unfortunately there is no working driver for this devices yet. With the 
help of John Jurrius from BBTI I was able to create a basic usb driver 
which implements usb transfer and methods which implement the used 
bbti-specific USB protocol for accessing the different functions.

John said that it is possible to use the methods from the pci driver to 
control the chip just by exchanging the access methods (like 
read/write_dw).

Therefore it could be useful to split up the skystar2 driver in some 
common module and a bus-specific module. This is what I don't dare yet ;).

If I find some time today or tomorrow I will commit the basic b2c2-usb 
code to dvb-kernel.

Sorry that there is no support yet,
Patrick.
