I have harvested the respective patches from Greg KH's staging tree and added two further updates; more to be added soon. The firesat driver is for FireWire-attached external and internal DVB-C, DVB-S, DVB-S2, and DVB-T devices from Digital Everywhere, called FireDTV and FloppyDTV. AFAIU some of these devices are also sold under the EyeTV brand by Elgato. Links to more information about firesat and the devices can be found at http://ieee1394.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Out-of-tree_Kernel_Drivers Right now, firesat/firedtv still needs a number of cleanups. (Luckily, the only task to be done before mainline merge which impacts userland is the renaming of the driver to firedtv.) The preparations will probably continue to go via the Linux Driver Project's mailinglist for now. When the essentials are done, I will post a snapshot of firedtv at LKML for broader review. So this is not a request to look at the current driver sources, this is only a notice about what's going on. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--- =--- =-=-- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
