Hello,

this USB stick (07ca:a835) used to work fine with the 3.0 and 3.1 kernel series, using one of the howtos in this thread: http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/index.php/topic,384436.msg3370690.html

However, there were some build errors with my current kernel 3.2.4, so I tried to update the entire media tree instead, as described here: http://git.linuxtv.org/media_build.git

Unfortunately, the device doesn't work. These are the dmesg messages that appear after plugging the receiver in:

	usb 3-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 6 using ehci_hcd
	WARNING: You are using an experimental version of the media stack.
	        As the driver is backported to an older kernel, it doesn't offer
	        enough quality for its usage in production.
	        Use it with care.
	Latest git patches (needed if you report a bug to linux-media@vger.kernel.org):
	        59b30294e14fa6a370fdd2bc2921cca1f977ef16 Merge branch 'v4l_for_linus' into staging/for_v3.4
	        72565224609a23a60d10fcdf42f87a2fa8f7b16d [media] cxd2820r: sleep on DVB-T/T2 delivery system switch

	lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 249
	IR LIRC bridge handler initialized

Surprisingly, the tda18218 module doesn't load automatically (I guess it should) and loading it manually doesn't help. So the device doesn't get initialized at all and there are no messages about firmware loading. (The firmware file is in /lib/firmware, of course.)

Is it possible to make the device work somehow? The receiver worked fine with older kernels (using the howto from ubuntu-it.org linked above) and the remote controller was usable as well.
