Hauppauge Aero-M Driver Problem

Hauppauge Aero-M Driver Problem

[Trip Ericson]

Hello, all:

Since my previous e-mail, I was able to get a Linux driver for the tuner 
from Hauppauge.  It came in the form of a v4l tree with the driver 
included.  I adjusted the v4l/.config file to only build the necessary 
driver.  Once it built and I invoked depmod -a, I hooked in my tuner, it 
detected the tuner, but then dmesg gave me:

[31537.360109] dvb_usb_mxl111sf: probe of 2-1.4:1.0 failed with error -22

Does anyone have any idea what this could be?  I can't find anything 
helpful about error -22 when I go looking.  I can provide the link to 
the driver or output from any command requested, I just need to know 
what to provide and how best to share it.

There was also a driver for the Mobile DTV half of the tuner included, 
but I could not get that part to build successfully, so I abandoned it 
for the time being in favor of getting the regular ATSC part to work.

Thanks for any thoughts or assistance.  It is greatly appreciated. =)

Hello Trip,

If Hauppauge provided you a driver, you need to direct all support
questions to them.  We aren't going to know the first thing about what
is wrong with such a driver since we've never seen it.

If they've made available a driver in source form under the GPL,
that's a great first step.  However it doesn't mean that the open
source community all of a sudden becomes responsible for the burden
associated with supporting such a driver (in particular when no
datasheets have been made available).

Cheers,

Devin
