Pent@net DVB card on Linux (Debian)
Posted by haytham - 13/10/06 at 09:10:30 pmHello,
So basicaly you want to install a cheapo Pent@net DVB satellite PCI card on your Debian/Ubuntu machine, i had a hard time finding documentation for 2.6 kernels, i tried it on 2.4 and it worked perfectly. However, i’m certain that trying this same method on 2.6 kernels, no issues should occur.
Packages to download:
- autoconf
- automake
- kernel-headers-2.4.* < -- depending on your kernel, 2.4.27 worked fine for me
- kernel-source-2.4.* < -- 2.4.27 in my case
- gcc & co
- pentanet-utils
- pentanet-dev
Installation steps:
- untar/gz the kernel-headers located in your /usr/src (Debian), and rename the untared file: /usr/src/linux
- untar/gz the latest Pent@net drivers, in my case 3.1: tar zxvf pentanet-(RHx-)x.x.x.tar.gz
- cd pentanet-(RHx-)x.x.x
- autoheader
- autoconf
- aclocal
- automake
- ./configure
- make clean
- make
- make install (You have to be the root user.)
Completing these steps, you’ll be able to ifconfig pentanet0….congrats
ps: leave me a note if it worked for 2.6
