No, nothing so well-informed as that, I'm afraid! :-) I just noticed from discussions such as http://www.digitv-forum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=350 that people were speaking about Zarlink/NXT6000 versions of the USB model just as (I believe) there are Zarlink/NXT6000 versions of the PCI version. So, not knowing much about it, I assumed the PCI and USB devices were largely the same right through. Obviously if the BT8xx is a PCI-only thing, that assumption must be wrong. :-) > > kernel: usb 3-4.4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address > > 5 > > That means, that a new, real USB2.0 device has been connected to the USB > bus and it has registered the Linux USB subsystem, but no driver claims > it. > > Please run a lsusb -v on your system to gather more basic information on > the device. I was pretty sure that was what was happening - thanks! I've attached the output of lsusb -v to this email. The DigiTV is connected to a powered hub plugged into a USB 2.0 PCMCIA card if that helps pinpoint which bits are helpful - I think the DigiTV is the thing with vendor "Anchor Chips, Inc." and lots of "Vendor Specific" fields. > Last year I asked them to provide specs and maybe a test device, but the > contact got stuck at some point. > > > The output above was all produced using Linux 2.6.10 (default kernel on > > Ubuntu Hoary Hedgehog.)

Sure, I'll have a go with a Windows machine when I can. As far as documentation for the USB command protocol goes: on their website, they do offer a "Windows SDK", which seems to be C++ source for the Windows drivers (to my inexperienced-in-Windows eyes.) The licence prohibits commercial use without written consent from Nebula, so as it stands it's not compatible with the GPL. But given Nebula's seemingly helpful attitude, they might give permission to use it as a reference with which to develop a Linux driver in C. I assume compilable, usable source code is vastly superior to incomplete and complex protocol docs! :-) I'd be happy to write to them to ask for their thoughts on doing that if you'd like. The SDK is at http://www.nebula-electronics.com/support/developers.asp Hope at least some of the above is useful!
