Yes, I meant the usb device firmware.

You can get the latest firmware from Terratec ftp-site:
ftp://ftp.terratec.net/Receiver/CinergyT2/Update/History/CinergyT2_Firmware_Update_1.08.exe

The very same directory also contains the original proprietary (NOT
BDA) windows drivers which are needed before you can use the
included flash loader. Unfortutenaly, I don't know any way to do the
update in Linux.
