linux and dvb-s i-tek sphere dexatek 5702 usb box

Great!
Today i managed to have my dvb-s usb box work under my linux-driven dv9585el.
Just to be more precise, I use a Ubuntu Gutsy 64-bit while the usb ,box is a Dexatek I-tek Sphere 5702 (buyed through ebay at the cesarex.com shop).


Here's what I did.

1- first of all I wrote to Dexatek, asking for linux support. They were very kind, but said me only that a linux module will appear. Too great or too bad (depending if you're in a hurry... and I AM!)
2- Since I can't wait, I searched for the chipset used by the dvb-s box.
So:
#lsusb
Bus 007 Device 004: ID 04f2:b023 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd
Bus 007 Device 002: ID 04b4:2102 Cypress Semiconductor Corp.
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 08ff:2580 AuthenTec, Inc.
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

The device has USB ID 04b4:2102

3- After a search, it turned out that dvbworld card has that USB ID. Most important, it turned out that Igor Liplianin wrote a module for the dvbworld card (DW2102).
