</div>As far as I know, nothing. However, as I previously stated, I didn't<br>
have any luck getting it authorized until I put it in my Windows box.<br>
That may have just been coincidental. As I also previously mentioned,<br>
I had changed the Ceton's IP address before I got my cablecard.<br>
Although using the different IP worked perfectly fine both before I<br>
got my cablecard (in QAM mode) and after I got the cable card finally<br>
authorized, perhaps there is some bug or undocumented "feature" that<br>
prevents the pairing from completing when there is an alternate IP<br>
set. Or maybe it is a bug that prevents the pairing from completing<br>
under linux. Or maybe my cable company was just having issues with<br>
their system and they didn't realize it. I have no idea exactly what<br>
the cause was (since I have to way to try to replicate this). All I<br>
provided was a single data point with my experiences. If someone can<br>
try it and get it authorized in linux, then we'll know using windows<br>
isn't the key.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>I will have my Ceton card tomorrow, but the CableCard may be another story. I will attempt to install the card, install the drivers, update the firmware, and access the card's webpage. I may have to schedule a truck roll since the local office says that they will not have any CCs until 8/1. I will certainly post my Linux-only experience as it unfolds. Wish me luck.<br>
