The internal driver differs alot. The full history of that driver can be seen when looking at: http://mcentral.de/hg/~mrec/v4l-dvb-experimental that code back then got split out of the linuxtv repository and moved to: http://mcentral.de/hg/~mrec/em28xx-new The driver has a long and rather bad history, which I'd like to avoid by using the different directory. Some patches got ported from my repository into the kernel although most devices don't work at all with the current inkernel driver (eg. em2888, flash based, isdb-t, cx25843, some saa7114.. based devices). here's some development status history starting in 2006. http://mcentral.de/wiki/index.php5/Em2880/Status moved over to a mailinglist and support people from 2007 - currently http://mcentral.de/pipermail/em28xx/ there's almost nothing of that work merged yet, and there are tonns of howtos out there which are based on all that right now. regards, Markus -- 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/
