Stefano, Probably a better would be "Is the card supported by the linux kernel ?"
If you boot up the system with the card in the PCMCIA slot, and run the lspci command, you should see an entry saying what chip/hardware is in the Formac card. And if you look through the kernel sources (and should most likely find support in $LINUX_KERNEL_SRC_DIR/drivers/media, or a directory with a similar name), and find support for this chip in there, it might work. Of course, a lot of these drivers were written for x86 or x86-64 support and may need "some modifications" to work properly on all platforms ... cheers vinai On Wed, 19 Apr 2006, Stefano Melchior wrote:
Dear all, I bought a Formac Watch-and-go PCMCIA card to watch digital terrestrial tv on my own powerbook. Since it is only for macosx and I could not find anything regarding its support on Debian or GNU/Linux in general, I was wondering if any of you have had some experience or know anything on its support.
