problem using TBS6900 with linux debian

following problem: we are trying to use a TBS 6209SE card (DVB-T2 mode) in combination with an TBS 6900 CI card under linux debian. The TBS 6209SE works fine, without any error so fare but when we try to use the TBS 6900 (with activ CI modul) to decrypt encrypted DVB-T2 singals, it doesn’t work. We are trying to solve this problem with terminal only commands without any gui. Our goal is to use the dvb-t2 streams for an internal videoserver which then processes them using ffmpeg.

installed/used software:

dvb5-zap: 1.16.3
dvblast: 3.4
DEBIAN: Buster 5.10 kernel
media_build: 2022-04-24

dmesg output (6900 CI):

„[ 18.149401] dvbdev: DVB: registering new adapter (tbsci)
[ 18.149709] tbsci 0000:03:00.0: DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (tbs6900 dual ci)...
[ 18.150585] tbsci 0000:03:00.0: DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (tbs6900 dual ci)...
[ 26.808331] dvb_ca_en50221: dvb_ca adapter 0: DVB CAM detected and initialised successfully“

As it seen above the card was sucessfully initialized.

free-to-air stations work with this setup without any problems but not encryptet ones. It seems that the 6900 CI card is not addressed at all.
Is their any way to get the CI card work with an debian system? (software are only avalible for ubuntu 4.18 and centos / DVB-S)

It seems that until now no one has tried to use such a combination of cards and system to work on it.

But does anyone have a suggestion on where to look or what to try to solve my problem?
