Open the rtl28xxu.c file and find line:
	{ DVB_USB_DEVICE(USB_VID_TERRATEC, USB_PID_NOXON_DAB_STICK,
replace it:
	{ DVB_USB_DEVICE(0x185b, 0x0680,

Compile and install.

Enable debugs:
#modprobe dvb_usb_rtl28xxu; echo -n 'module dvb_usb_rtl28xxu +p' > 
/sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control

plug stick in and look what dmesg says. With a good luck there is 
supported RF-tuner and it works, but most likely there is some RF-tuner 
which is not supported and it does not work.
