Hi *,
I saw an announcement for the following patch:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg224909.html
Does this mean, all of my saa7146-based DVB cards will stop working after the according openSUSE kernel will be released? Or will anyone at SUSE port the deprecated frontend to newer kernels?
Sry, if the question sounds silly, but I'm not familiar with the handling of such things regarding kernel or kernel drivers.
If that patch is accepted, which is not a sure thing, you will either need to stay with an older kernel, or you will need to acquire a source for the drive and build it externally. The kernel source for the latest source that includes this driver would be an excellent source. Building an external module is not trivial, but it is not rocket science. :) Larry
