My biggest stumbling block at the moment is the firmware file. How did
you know where to extract the firmware from (af9005.fw &
af9005-script.h)? Was it simply through the documentation you were
given, or was it through windows snooping?
    

usbsnoop on windows dont log all data, the best way is vmware and some tuning 
in devio.c and then load usbcore with usbfs_snoop=1

attached is a firm transfer for usb id 15a4:9016 (af9015, tuner 
mt2060)

this device get commands over ep 0x02 and answer on ep 0x81 and it needs a 
stupid urb counter (00-ff and so on)

if you just want to use the device until we get a spec sniff the data and 
replay it to the device.

Hi Zsolt, did you see the last message on this topic? we've got all the programming specs for the chip! Feel free to have a go at the driver yourself, because I'm likely to take a while to get it working.

I've sent info on my device to Gunther, so we'll have a nice gallery of the dongle online soon, although mine uses the QT1010 tuner rather than mt2060. My initial looks at the programming docs makes it look like the AF2016 chip will handle the tuner interface itself, or at least they've got sample code of a function that'll take the tuner frequency as a parameter to tune to a channel.  I'm going to have a closer look now.

Andrew
