Driver for this DVB-T tuner?

Driver for this DVB-T tuner?

[Stefan Czinczoll]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get my Terratec DVB-T USB (Cinergy T USB XE MKII) working
with linux. Any chance in the near future? It works with Windumb & BDA
drivers, but this is not what i want... ;-)

Below is from dmesg output.

Kind regards,

Stefan

You should use driver from

Use 4.95.0 instead.

How do I insert it correctly into the source tree? 
A short hint (to a readme) should help. 

Thanks again!

Sorry, didn't understand what you mean.

Anyhow, Mauro just committed this driver to the master, you can now use 
v4l-dvb -master instead.

I've downloaded the af9015 firmware version 4.95.0 from here:

http://www.otit.fi/~crope/v4l-dvb/af9015/af9015_firmware_cutter/firmware_files/4.95.0/

but simply downloading and installing into /lib/firmware seems to be not enough here (Mandriva 2009.0).

> Anyhow, Mauro just committed this driver to the master, you can now use 

I did so, but firmware 4.95.0 is not included?!?

Thanks,

Stefan

Thats ok

?? How did you installed old 4.65.0 firmware? Just replace 4.65.0 
firmware file (file name is same) with 4.95.0 is enough.

Is not included? Firmware does not come with driver - it should be 
downloaded and installed separately.

What it now prints to the /var/log/messages ?

I'm not fully sure, if I did it at all, it was from an old, unsuccessful attempt.
Tryed an "updatedb" as root and the only places where I could find it has the new
version. I'm suspecting it comes with standard kernel 2.6.27.10-1 on Mandriva, which
I'm using. Should I deactivate 9015 from standard kernel options?

Anyhow - is there no default place to store firmware when compiling a kernel or modules?

This is still as before:

Feb 10 20:10:44 localhost kernel: af9013: firmware version:4.65.0


Thanks for your help,

Stefan

Still old firmware. What md5sum says?

[root@localhost ~]# md5sum /lib/firmware/dvb-usb-af9015.fw
dccbc92c9168cc629a88b34ee67ede7b  /lib/firmware/dvb-usb-af9015.fw

Same as yours:

$ md5sum /lib/firmware/dvb-usb-af9015.fw 
dccbc92c9168cc629a88b34ee67ede7b  dvb-usb-af9015.fw

Do I have to enable HOTPLUG_PCI additionally to HOTPLUG for kernel?
