Hi,
Is there any plan to include ddbridge driver version 0.8 in mainline kernel
(currently it's 0.5). I really see no reason it's in the vacuum like now
for almost a year. No sign of pushing it into mainline. Why is that so?
It's a good driver.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Martin

You should ask Ralph Metzler (added to CC) as he wrote the driver I
think or atleast maintains it.

I wrote the driver but I never submitted it to the kernel myself. I got frustrated
with that process years ago. Oliver Endriss took care of it and necessary coding style
adjustments etc. in the last few years. (Many thanks again!)
But now he also stopped to pass it into the kernel due to some complications
with other changes upstream.
I usually distribute a package with own versions of dvb-core, frontend and
ddbridge drivers now. When the next major restructuring due to the DVB-C modulator
card and the stand-alone hardware network streamer (octopus net) support is done,
I will make it publically available. The current driver is version 0.9.7.
It should be up to kernel coding style and can be easily copied over into
a current kernel. But I am not about to take it apart into little patches.
Regards,
Ralph

But do you have any problems with it being mainlined? If someone would
take your newest version and work with Mauro/Oliver to mainline it?
What would be your ETA? weeks? months? end of the year?

We have more than 30 cards that use ddbridge drivers and the fact that the driver
in mainline is out of date is big PITA.

What is the current status of this? I saw that the DVB-C modulator is on
sale now.
I guess octopus-net isn't announced yet and will be something like the
current octopus, but as a streamer instead of receiver?
