gnutv -cammenu hangs

Hey,

I'd like to update the firmware of my CA module, but gnutv -cammenu does nothing, it just sits there without any output.

Environment:
SkyStar HD (STB0899) with CI, using the multiproto drivers. Ubuntu 8.04.1 with self-compiled linuxtv-dvb-apps from hg tip. Same problem on Gentoo.

Reproduction:
1. Starting "gnutv -adapter 1 -cammenu"

Actual results:
Nothing. The command prompt does not return (i.e. gnutv runs), and no output comes from gnutv. It just sits there, forever. No error message.

I have no way to resolve the problem, because I have no idea what the problem is.

Expected result:
Detailled error message pointing me to the problem, so that I can fix it.

E.g. "Driver does not support this operation", "Could not contact CA module - is it inserted?" or "Could not contact smartcard. Check that it's inserted in the right direction and side" or whatever. This is the minimum level of precision, better (e.g. "CA module did not react to command foo") would be good.

Please also report what *did* work, so that I can exclude error causes. E.g. "CA initialization succeeded" tells me that the CI adapter and CA module is inserted correctly.
