Tuners are supported and also demodulator part have some kind of base driver in my EC168 devel tree. Someone should write PCI -bridge driver. I don't have any PCI -experience and I am not very motivated even finalize EC188/EC100 due to lack of specs. > is there any prospect of support for this card? i don't think i could > write it myself but i certainly could test it. In my understanding, no one is working for that currently. regards Antti -- http://palosaari.fi/
