OnAir USB HDTV Creator

OnAir USB HDTV Creator

[Dean]

I am trying to use an 'OnAir USB HDTV Creator' (from autumnwave.com).  According to
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/OnAir_USB_HDTV_Creator
This device is supported, however it's not working for me.  Following the instructions at above link, I tried this:
modprobe pvrusb2 initusbreset=0

The result:
FATAL: Error inserting pvrusb2 (/lib/modules/2.6.31.12-desktop586-1mnb/kernel/drivers/media/video/pvrusb2/pvrusb2.ko.gz): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

When connecting the unit, dmesg shows only these six lines.

usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10
usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=11ba, idProduct=1101
usb 1-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 1-3: Product: USB HDTV-GT(1.1)
usb 1-3: Manufacturer: OnAirSolution
usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

Anyone know what to do?

Dean:

The initusbreset module option no longer exists.  That's why your 
modprobe command is failing.  That feature was removed from the driver, 
due to a change in USB stack behavior that started with the 2.6.27 
kernel.  (The resolution hinted at in the wiki page was in fact just 
removal of the feature.)

So you need to not use "initusbreset=0".  The advice in the wiki is over 
a year out of date.
