Ali, speaking from experience, it can take a long time to get public datasheets out of Conexant. They have a lot to preserve and protect. On the other hand they've also been very co-operative with the community. Sit tight and wait, if you'd wanted to use your board under Linux from the beginning then you should of bought a different board. Bombarding Conexant via email will only delay things and sour any relationship certain members of the community already have established. - Steve _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
