I've read the wiki and previous threads about UDEV rules, and I still can't get things to work.<br><br>I am using Fedora 9 (64 bit), and 4 DVB tuner - 2 DVB-S cards, and a NOVA-T-500 which has 2 tuners on board.<br>
<br>Using the example from the wiki, I have created a new .rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d named 55-dvb-allocation.rules that looks like this:<br><br>---file begins---<br># New rules file to create adapters 101 to 104 for 4 DVB tuners<br>
# Reminder to get data: udevinfo -a -p $(udevinfo -q path -n /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0)<br><br># Create a symlink /dev/dvb/adapter101 pointing to Sky 28E card (budget driver with manufacturer 0x1131)<br>SUBSYSTEM=="dvb", ATTRS{manufacturer}=="0x1131", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#dvb}; printf dvb/adapter101/%%s $${K#*.}'", SYMLINK+="%c"<br>
<br># Create a symlink /dev/dvb/adapter102 pointing to Hotbird 13E card (manufacturer 0x13d0)<br>SUBSYSTEM=="dvb", ATTRS{manufacturer}=="0x13d0", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#dvb}; printf dvb/adapter102/%%s $${K#*.}'", SYMLINK+="%c"<br>
<br># Create a symlink /dev/dvb/adapter103 pointing to Nova-T-500 DVB-T card with first tuner (urbnum=1496)<br>SUBSYSTEM=="dvb", ATTRS{product}=="WinTV Nova-DT", ATTRS{devnum}=="2", ATTRS{serial}=="4028964134", ATTRS{urbnum}=="1496", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#dvb}; printf dvb/adapter103/%%s $${K#*.}'", SYMLINK+="%c"<br>
<br># Create a symlink /dev/dvb/adapter103 pointing to Nova-T-500 DVB-T card second tuner (urbnum=10011)<br>SUBSYSTEM=="dvb", ATTRS{product}=="WinTV Nova-DT", ATTRS{devnum}=="2", ATTRS{serial}=="4028964134", ATTRS{urbnum}=="10011", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#dvb}; printf dvb/adapter104/%%s $${K#*.}'", SYMLINK+="%c"<br>
<br><div id="1fhu" class="udg9X"></div>---file ends<br><br>But udev is not creating any adapter101, 102, 103 or 104. I thought that it would create these in addition to the /dev/adapter0 /dev/adapter1, etc that it produces by default.<br>
<br>I've taken our main backend down to install the new tuner cards, and now the wife is very unhappy!<br><br>Thanks!<br>Nick<br>
