Hello,

I also have a Technotrend S2-3200. Bought it 4 years ago. Support for 
Linux seemed to be close at the time. I was a bit of a fool for thinking 
that. It's been on the shelf for most of the time.

Anyway, I've applied that patch, and it turns the S2-3200 from being 
worth hardly more than a paperweight to a functional DVB-S card. I don't 
understand why this patch does not get included.

Only DVB-S2 transponders don't consistently lock properly in kaffeine. 
I'll test what "scan" does tomorrow, see if it's a kaffeine-specific 
problem or not. But even just DVB-S working properly is a massive 
difference for this card.

If it helps, I'll check the silicon version of my card tomorrow as well.

Best regards,

P. van Gaans
