The DVB net device enables feeding of MPE (multi protocol encapsulation) packets received via DVB into the Linux network protocol stack, e.g. for internet via satellite applications. It can be accessed through /dev/dvb/adapter0/net0. Data types and and ioctl definitions can be accessed by including linux/dvb/net.h in your application.
