Hi, I also have the Winfast DTV Dongle (dib0700) and have had it running for months now on the kernel in the Gutsy repo with no mods (Currently, 2.6.22-14). The restricted driver manager in Gutsy even picked up the device, downloaded and installed the firmware. Is there any other information you can supply?
