I've installed a Ceton InfiniTV4 cable card in my HTPC that is running openSUSE 13.1, x86_64. I've installed the drivers, and they seem to be okay. The card runs as an ethernet device, but I'm having trouble getting it set up and running on my openSUSE 13.1, x86_64 system. I'm looking for suggestions on how to get it running.
When I run lsmod, it shows....
When I run Hardware Information from YAST2, I see the device listed under Network Card, listed as Multimedia video card. Here are the relevant entries:
When I run /sbin/ifconfig -a, it has an entry that looks like this:
Here is the in README file for the drivers (not much here as the manufacturer doesn't support linux, only provides drivers "as is"):
Based on that, when I run ifconfig -a I should have a device called ctn0. I don't. However, I've got enp4s0. When I look in hardware info, enp4s0 is using the ctn91xx driver. So I think that's the device I need. However, it does not have an IP address, and, if it is the right device, it should have one.
I've also found this link which gives additional setup information:
http://www.bsmdevelopment.com/Refere...tion-1.15.html
From that, I think it's saying that since I'm using static IP addressing on this machine (and network), I need to manually assign the card the address of 192.168.200.2. It will then give me an address of 192.168.200.1 as the control interface. The problem is that I can't figure out how to add that IP address to that card. It doesn't show up in Network Settings, only my Realtek onboard NIC shows up. I tried manually adding it via Netwrok Settings by settins up an Ethernet device (0), using a kernel module of ctn91xx, and setting the IP address to 192.168.200.2, and mask of 255.255.255.0. That didn't do anything.
Does anybody have a clue how I can assign this card an IP address?
When I run lsmod, it shows....

*****************************************************************************
* Installation
*****************************************************************************
Install make, gcc, perl, kernel-devel and kernel-headers for your distribution.
Note: your running kernel is the same as the kernel-header and kernel-devel
installed. Then run:
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe ctn91xx
*****************************************************************************
* Usage
*****************************************************************************
You should see a network interface when you run ifconfig -a called ctn0
You can set a static IP address on the 192.168.200.0/24 subnet (don't
use 192.168.200.1) or just use a dhcp client to get an IP address for it.
The InfiniTV device webpage will be available at http://192.168.200.1
From there you can tune via frequency or channel number. Only ClearQAM and
CCI=0 content is available on linux due to lack of DRM support.
Access video via a special device file created under:
/dev/ceton/ctn91xx_mpeg0_0-5
You can run "mplayer -cache 8192 /dev/ceton/ctn91xx_mpeg0_0" to play video
off the first tuner. Depending on your system, extra buffering via the shell
might improve performance. E.g.
cat /dev/ceton/ctn91xx_mpeg0_0 | mplayer -cache 8192 -
*****************************************************************************
* Multiple Cards
*****************************************************************************
More than one InfiniTV is handled by creating more network interfaces
(ctn1,ctn2,etc...). The IP assignment scheme is:
192.168.200.1
192.168.201.2
192.168.202.3
192.168.203.4
etc..I've also found this link which gives additional setup information:
http://www.bsmdevelopment.com/Refere...tion-1.15.html
From that, I think it's saying that since I'm using static IP addressing on this machine (and network), I need to manually assign the card the address of 192.168.200.2. It will then give me an address of 192.168.200.1 as the control interface. The problem is that I can't figure out how to add that IP address to that card. It doesn't show up in Network Settings, only my Realtek onboard NIC shows up. I tried manually adding it via Netwrok Settings by settins up an Ethernet device (0), using a kernel module of ctn91xx, and setting the IP address to 192.168.200.2, and mask of 255.255.255.0. That didn't do anything.
Does anybody have a clue how I can assign this card an IP address?
