V4L/DVB (7786): cx18: new driver for the Conexant CX23418 MPEG encoder chip Many thanks to Steve Toth from Hauppauge and Nattu Dakshinamurthy from Conexant for their support. I am in particular thankful to Hauppauge since without their help this driver would not exist. It should also be noted that Steve did the work to get the DVB part up and running. Thank you!
