[19:56] <rigo> hi
[19:58] <rigo> is there a way to dunno.. "request" a driver to build in to the new kernel?
[20:02] <JanC> rigo: you mean rebuild a driver that is not part of the kernel on kernel-upgrades?
[20:03] <rigo> no, i guess not. i mean if i install the latest kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ my new device is automatically recognised. so supported "out of box"
[20:04] <rigo> so it would be wonderful to have the tevii S662 usb dvb-s2 driver in the next kernel release.
[20:05] <JanC> if you want mainline kernel to support your device, you'll have to talk to the upstream kernel developers (and possibly also to the devices manufacturer(s))
[20:06] <JanC> (maybe the Ubuntu kernel developers can help with that)
[20:07] <JanC> rigo: actually, the manufacturer working with the upstream kernel project would probably be best, if they want to...
[20:10] <rigo> it is a pain in the ... to install a driver.. :/
[20:12] <rigo> in example the s471 card was not supported in the 3.4 but was in the 3.6. so i didnt had to wait a lot. maybe ill be lucky this time too
[20:13] <JanC> if the manufacturer, or somebody working with them, is working on those drivers, it might work soon
