Digital Devices Cine S2 V6.5, PCIe, Dual

Dear List,

I have a DVB card as mentioned in the subject

Kernel driver in use: DDBridge
Kernel modules: ddbridge

Kernel 3.12.3 sees the device, but does not enable it. Only the ddbridge driver is loaded, none of the tuner/demod drivers:

root@mythtest:~# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
ddbridge               17766  0

Nor, judging from dmesg output, is the firmware loaded:

[    1.624996] Digital Devices PCIE bridge driver, Copyright (C) 2010-11 Digital Devices GmbH
[    1.652565] pci 0000:01:19.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)

What is the best kernel to have this dvb-card working?
Or, alternatively, the best combination of kernel version and out-of-kernel stack?

Thanks,

Rudy

I think the best out-of-kernel stack at the moment ist the one by Oliver Endriss.

I use it for my Cine C/T and it's working really good.
