Making it Work

Make sure that the external power supply is connected!!!

Firmware

$ wget http://www.digitaldevices.de/download/ngene_15.fw
$ cp ngene_15.fw /lib/firmware/

Device [18c3:dd00] needs Firmware >= 18

$ wget http://l4m-daten.de/downloads/firmware/dvb-s2/linux/all/ngene_18.fw
$ sudo cp ngene_18.fw /lib/firmware

Driver

$ hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/
$ cd v4l-dvb
$ make
$ make install

Also supported by the s2-liplianin v4l branch.

On RHEL / Centos / Scientific Linux 6.x the card works with video4linux driver RPM >= 20110208_132512-98.el6 from ATRPMS Repository.
