Yes, as they have some kind of Linux support yet in their webpage (as they provide some precompiled modules for some distros and kernels) I have asked them to release the code or give LinuxTV the information required for us to write our own driver. I have explained to them that precompiled drivers are not useful even for people using the distribution they claim to support, as they will have probably upgraded their kernel. I sent the mail to Spanish support address, and they replied me that they had resend the request to their software development center in Taiwan. It has been a week from that now, and I haven't got any reply from .tw > > However, if I have the time this week, I going to release the necessary > component-driver for the DiBcom STK7700P-ref-design (which is the base for > this design). Not 100% sure that this is _exactly_ the same design. Nice to hear that. If it is not 100% the same I hope that at least it is close enough to allow some modifications and to make the card work. Thanks you very much for all your work. And of course, if you need some testing, just ask. I am quite busy during the week, but I'll try to answer promptly.
