As the topic says, I can't install the driver for my Technisat Airstar 2 usb stick.

Here is the output:

root@vuultimo:~# opkg install enigma2-plugin-drivers-dvb-usb-dib0700

 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package enigma2-plugin-drivers-dvb-usb-dib0700.

Trying to install the v4l packages manually just tells me that they dont exist. On my DM500HD the driver can be installed and works normally though.

Any solution for this?

opkg -force-depends kernel-module-dvb-usb-dib0700

try this

"opkg --force-depends install kernel-module-dvb-usb-dib0700". This worked! But then it complained about the firmware file, so I had to install "firmware-dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20" too.

And now it works! Thanks for putting me on the right track Taykun.

Maybe the normal package could be fixed for easier installation in the future though. I'd be glad to help with anything that could assist the devs, but I'm unfortunately not much of a programmer.

This issue has been asked to be fixed before:

I did a search for dib0700 here before I posted, must've been too tired to spot your thread which already had the solution in it!

Having some past experience in administering linux systems I can imagine a lot of stuff broke with the kernel move to 3.1, and fixing driver packages is probably not the highest priority, especially if it can be solved by manual intervention.

I've seen the devs fixing packages for other dvb drivers not long ago though, so hopefully it's just a matter of time till they get this one fixed too.
