Hauppague WinTV USB2-stick (tm6010)

Hauppague WinTV USB2-stick (tm6010)

[Abhijit Bhopatkar]

I am unfortunate enough to have a above mentioned tuner card.
The windows driver is hcw66xxx.sys

According to various posts on this (and old v4l) mailing list, the driver i 
need is tm6000. However the device id for this tuner is 2040:6610

Only 2040:6600 seems to be recogised by the kernel driver.

I am already downloading the latest git trees and i find the driver existing in 
drivers/staging 

Is it worth for me to test this latest tree and driver against my card by just 
adding the device ids? 
If the devs need some more testing / help i can certainly volunteer my 
time/efforts. 
I do have fare familiarity with linux driver development and would be happy to 
help in debugging/developing support for this tuner. The only thing i don't 
have is knowledge for making this chipset work.

Don't bother.  The driver is known to be broken - badly.  It needs
alot of work, although someone has finally started hacking at the
tm6000 driver recently (see the mailing list archives for more info).

I think, you can help to analyse the usb data communication -> what
for tuner, demodulator, gpio's etc.? And you can also ask Mauro
Carvalho Chehab.
