I and some others Ham radio operators are working on a pc-based dvb-s transmitter. Reference website are: http://www.m0dts.co.uk/datv.htm Interfare between pc and transmitter is based on FTDI FT245 (usb fifo). Goal will be create a device like /dev/dvbs-tx, write into a mpeg-ts stream so kernel module convert it to a dvb-s signal and send it to the usb fifo. Now could be a good thing to have a kernel module for get raw data from /dev/dvbs-tx and put it on the ftdi chip (we have an external encoder called dvbsenco but target project is rewrite a clone as kernel module to improve performances) I know basic C but not enought to write a kernel module. Someone can help us? PS Sorry for my horrible english
