The patch does the following:

a. it synchronizes /Documentation/dvb/technisat.txt to the current kernel
design
b. it syncs Trent Piepho' s latest changes to the flexcop driver concept:
implementation of the dvb pll library for some cards that need it

1) Find out what device you have
================================

Important Notice: The driver does NOT support Technisat USB 2 devices!

First start your linux box with a shipped kernel:
lspci -vvv for a PCI device (lsusb -vvv for an USB device) will show you for example:
02:0b.0 Network controller: Techsan Electronics Co Ltd B2C2 FlexCopII DVB chip / Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card (rev 02)
02:0b.0 Network controller: Techsan Electronics Co Ltd B2C2 FlexCopII DVB chip /
Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card (rev 02)

dmesg | grep frontend may show you for example:
DVB: registering frontend 0 (Conexant CX24123/CX24109)...

2) Kernel compilation:
======================

If the Technisat is the only TV device in your box get rid of unnecessary modules and check this one:
"Multimedia devices" => "Customise analog and hybrid tuner modules to build"
In this directory uncheck every driver which is activated there (except "Simple tuner support" for case 9 only).
If the Flexcop / Technisat is the only DVB / TV / Radio device in your box
get rid of unnecessary modules and check this one:
"Multimedia support" => "Customise analog and hybrid tuner modules to build"
In this directory uncheck every driver which is activated there
(except "Simple tuner support" for ATSC 3rd generation only -> see case 9 please).

Then please activate:
2a) Main module part:
"Multimedia support" => "DVB/ATSC adapters"
=> "Technisat/B2C2 FlexcopII(b) and FlexCopIII adapters"

a.)"Multimedia devices" => "DVB/ATSC adapters" => "Technisat/B2C2 FlexcopII(b) and FlexCopIII adapters"
b.)"Multimedia devices" => "DVB/ATSC adapters" => "Technisat/B2C2 FlexcopII(b) and FlexCopIII adapters" => "Technisat/B2C2 Air/Sky/Cable2PC PCI" in case of a PCI card
OR
c.)"Multimedia devices" => "DVB/ATSC adapters" => "Technisat/B2C2 FlexcopII(b) and FlexCopIII adapters" => "Technisat/B2C2 Air/Sky/Cable2PC USB" in case of an USB 1.1 adapter
d.)"Multimedia devices" => "DVB/ATSC adapters" => "Technisat/B2C2 FlexcopII(b) and FlexCopIII adapters" => "Enable debug for the B2C2 FlexCop drivers"
Notice: d.) is helpful for troubleshooting
