I have been using DVB-S with the old Hauppauge NOVA-S card and everything has been working great. I was forced to move to Hauppauge new card Nova-S-Plus 92001 Rev C1B1 using Fedora 10 2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.i686.

Using the linux dvbapps. Here is my dvbnet script

PID=0x40E

DEV_NAME=dvb0_0

IP_ADDR=10.30.3.80

/root/dvbapps/util/dvbnet/dvbnet -p $PID

/sbin/ifconfig dvb0_0 10.30.3.80 promisc;

When I execute it my interface (dvb0_0) is created, but I get an error (SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address

) when it binds an address to the interfance.

DVB Network Interface Manager

Version 1.1.0-TVF (Build Wed Mar 11 10:24:03 PM 2009)

Device: /dev/dvb/adapter0/net0

Status: device dvb0_0 for pid 1038 created successfully.

SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address

Why would this script work fine with my old Nova-S card, but not with the new Nova-S-Plus card. 

Has anyone else run in to this problem?
