Can't get mandrake to reconize dvb card
Hi, I have a Haupauge nexus-s dvb card that that's not starting (mandrake 10.1 official). In the hardware browser it's listed under other multimedia devices (SAA7146). Thats correct. I copied my firmware file to both /usr/lib/firmware and /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware. It's not supposed to go there anymore with 2.6 kernel but it looks like mandrake still uses it, and I used this script that worked under fedora 4 to create dev files that i found here:
xxx.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=301600
#!/bin/sh
# Create device nodes for the Linux DVB API with DVB_API_VERSION 2.
# The devices created are suitable for most current PC DVB cards,
# i.e. cards having one frontend, one demux and optionally one
# MPEG decoder.
# The script creates devices for four cards by default.
if [ -e /dev/.devfsd ]; then
echo "It seems you are using devfs. Good!"
exit 0
fi
# get rid of old DVB API devices; do it twice for good measure...
rm -rf /dev/ost
rm -rf /dev/ost
rm -rf /dev/dvb
rm -rf /dev/dvb
mkdir /dev/dvb
chmod 755 /dev/dvb
for i in `seq 0 3`; do
echo "Creating DVB devices in /dev/dvb/adapter$i"
mkdir /dev/dvb/adapter$i
chmod 755 /dev/dvb/adapter$i
mknod -m 0600 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/video0 c 212 `expr 64 \* $i + 0`
mknod -m 0600 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/audio0 c 212 `expr 64 \* $i + 1`
mknod -m 0600 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/frontend0 c 212 `expr 64 \* $i + 3`
mknod -m 0600 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/demux0 c 212 `expr 64 \* $i + 4`
mknod -m 0600 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/dvr0 c 212 `expr 64 \* $i + 5`
mknod -m 0600 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/ca0 c 212 `expr 64 \* $i + 6`
mknod -m 0600 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/net0 c 212 `expr 64 \* $i + 7`
mknod -m 0600 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/osd0 c 212 `expr 64 \* $i + 8`
chown root.video /dev/dvb/adapter$i/*
done
In fedora the card showed up when i ran #dmesg,even before I loaded the firmware it complained the firmware wasn't present, but mandrake shows no reference to it at all.
Is there something else I need to do?
Does the 2.6.8.1-24mdk kernel support this dvb card? It does look like it's installed in the hardware browser.
Is the code I used correct for mandrake? I'm just now noticing the 64's in there is this bad for 32 bit machine, or does it have anything to do with it at all.
here's lspci

This is a popular card(under windows anyway), but there's next to nothing out on the web for setting it up.I've been at this now for over a week, any help wopuld be much appriciated. Thanks
