Fwd: 0bda:2838 Ezcap DVB USB adaptor - no device files created

[Arthur Marsh <arthur.marsh@internode.on.net>]

Hi, I bought one of these things having seen the Linux penguin on the
box and compiled the code from the
http://jms.id.au/wiki/EzcapDvbAdapter web page on a quad core AMD64
machine using 3.0.0-rc5 Linux kernel and GCC 4.6.1 under Debian sid.

On boot-up the device is at least partially recognised:

[    1.430924] usb 1-5: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=2838

but apparently no device files are created (there is no /dev/dvb tree).

Any suggestions for things to try to get this working welcome.

Arthur.
