Hi Genna1, thanks for the suggestion. Yes that symlink is working, but now make is looking for include/generated/autoconf.h. I have created a symlink /usr/src/linux-3.0.4-2/include/generated/ , but it is not working.
file:///usr/src/linux-3.0.4-2/include/generated/autoconf.h
Looking at the terminal output, there seems to be a whole lot of differnces between file locations for Opensuse and Ubuntu. What do you think Genna1?

Hi Genna,
Thanks, moved on but problem with symlinks. The kernel headers package is here /usr/src/linux-3.0.4-2. created a symlink called linux-headers-3.0.4-2-desktop pointing to it.
Thats ok, but now make is looking for autoconf.h . It is here /usr/src/linux-3.0.4-2-obj/x86_64/desktop/include/generated/autoconf.h, but cannot create symlink because make is looking for it starting from include subdirectory. Cannot create symlink called include, because there is a directory called include already in linux-3.0.4-2. If I create a symlink in /usr/src/linux/include called generate then the module.symvers will be bypassed. Can I copy this into the generated subdirectory. It would be easier to modify the makefile, but dont see where.

Hi,
Sorry not sure if this is right place to post, could anyone help please. Probably didnt do something propery or Opensuse 11.4 file structure different.
Problems to make

Thank Gennar1,
Still not sure if I need a fw file

Hi Gennar1,
Sorry if I jumped nto this thread, butt as I said, I'm getting desperate.
My problem is I'm not a newbie, but this DVB stuff is really stretching me and cant make proper sense of posts on it.
I double checked and I am actually running the 3.0.4-2 kernel, Opensuse 11.4 64 bit
Followed http://linuxtv.org/w..._Device_Drivers
Compile kept crashing on 2.6 kernel, but now compiles ok on 3.0 kernel.
I know there is no realtek drivers in there, but not sure how to merge rtl2832 files and where to get the correct ones.
Do I need to install firmware, where can I find it

I had a look at your https://github.com/a...od_kernel-3.0.0 and keen to try it.
Do I need to do anything extra like edit the makefile.
