Finally - It is working :D

After searching the net for about 3-4 hours, I finally found the missing
scripts. So thanks to Patrick Boettcher and his reply to a post in Dec
2005
(http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2005-December/007247.html),
I now have a working firmware for the Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-T usb2 93004,
rev. C1A2.

If anyone is interested in the generated firmware file, I have
temporarily uploaded it here:

http://home.crax.dk/dvb-usb-nova-t-usb2-01.fw

Would be nice to know, if it is working for other than me...
I have not tested it yet, only seen that it is loaded correctly in linux
and that the frontend is attached. 

Thanks for all the input!
