How to install SkyStar 2 revision 2.8 using the binary-driver for the CX24113?

0) Have linux-installation which allows to build external kernel modules.

Further help can be found here: http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_install_DVB_device_drivers

1) Get the complete v4l-dvb driver tree from 2008-07-07 (*) and extract it

 # wget http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/archive/0276304b76b9.tar.bz2
 # tar xfj 0276304b76b9.tar.bz2
 # cd v4l-dvb-0276304b76b9

2) Apply the patch and copy the appropriate driver-binary

 # patch -p1 < <tpath-to-patch-file>/skystar2-rev2.8-v4l-dvb.patch
 # cp <path-to-binary-file>/cx24113_blob.o.x86-64 v4l/cx24113_blob.o_shipped # for 64-bit installations
or
 # cp <path-to-binary-file>/cx24113_blob.o.i386   v4l/cx24113_blob.o_shipped # for 32-bit installations

3) (optional) select the device/card-drivers to compile and install

 # make menuconfig

   follow the menus and enable at least

  <M>   Technisat/B2C2 FlexCopII(b) and FlexCopIII adapters
  <M>     Technisat/B2C2 Air/Sky/Cable2PC PCI
  <M>     Technisat/B2C2 Air/Sky/Cable2PC USB

4) compile all/selected modules and install them

 # make
 # make install

 the last command will replace the modules which were delivered by the install kernel by the ones you just compiled.

5) Loading the modules. The command 'make install' installed the new driver into the right place and replaced old ones. The next reboot will load these modules automatically. To force a reload of the new modules without rebooting run:

 # make reload

(*) it is important that the version from this day is used, because the binary module "cx24113.ko" requires binary compatibility with the DVB-API provided by the v4l-dvb-tree. If the internal binary API has changed, which can happen without notice, the module will not work. This only applied for types and function provided by the v4l-dvb-tree, i2c and module related things can be found in cx24113_i2c.c and are compiled on this platform.
