OK, now I have an update on the subject.
With older kernels (<2.6.24) ifconfig was happy even if the mac address 
of dvb0_0 was all zero.
With never kernel you need to supply the mac address explicitly, like this:

dvbnet -p 1909
ifconfig dvb0_0 hw ether 00:30:1D:01:02:01
ifconfig dvb0_0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.255 promisc up allmulti

and then everything works again as expected.
Many thanks to ChengHsin Hsu for the fix.

Francesco
