As I originally posted the quoted email below, I might be able to help
you. firstly: lsusb is located in the usbutils package so you may need to install it, or you need to prefix the command with its location i.e. /sbin/lsusb. Please try this first and post the result back to the list. (with the -v option please) secondly in reference to my patch below. I never heard anything more from the list about it and I have no reason to believe it was ever incorporated as a patch. I suspect this dongle is a variant sold only in Australia (where you and I are from obviously) and so the demand is relatively small - thus no one else was interested. I posted more for people like yourself for whom my fix may help. The only thing this patch did is add an extra identifier so that the dongle was recognized. Now that said, I suspect there is an even more recent variant released in the last 2/3 months (right after I bought mine :( ) which may have a different identifier again. So the result of lsusb is even more important. Unfortunately I got distracted after I got my dongle recognized and haven't made it fully work yet (with MythTv) - but if you are interested I might have another go at it. I also note the large number of dibcom related posts in recent months which will have a direct bearing on this dongle. So recent versions of the dvb code are essential.

The following is from a previous conversation on this mailing list and might give you the info you need: _______________________________________________________________________________ Hi, How do I get a patch incorporated into the dvb kernel section ? After recently purchasing a LeadTek WinFast DTV Dongle I rapidly discovered it was the variant that was not recognized in the kernel i.e. as previously reported at: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2007-December/022373.html http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-January/023175.html its device ids are: (lsusb) ID 0413:6f01 Leadtek Research, Inc. Rather than make the changes suggested by previous posters I set about making a script and associated kernel patches to automatically do this. My motivation was simple: I use a laptop with an ATI graphics card and fedora 8. I find the best drivers for this card are currently from Livna and are updated monthly (and changes are significant at the moment i.e. see the phoronix forum). So I would need to do this repeatedly. In my patch I add an identifier (USB_PID_WINFAST_DTV_DONGLE_STK7700P_B) and modify the table appropriately When I plug it in I now see in my messages log kernel: usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9 kernel: usb 1-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice kernel: dib0700: loaded with support for 2 different device-types kernel: dvb-usb: found a 'Leadtek Winfast DTV Dongle B (STK7700P based)' in cold state, will try to load a firmware kernel: dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-dib0700-01.fw' kernel: dib0700: firmware started successfully. kernel: dvb-usb: found a 'Leadtek Winfast DTV Dongle B (STK7700P based)' in warm state. kernel: dvb-usb: will pass the complete MPEG2 transport stream to the software demuxer. kernel: DVB: registering new adapter (Leadtek Winfast DTV Dongle B (STK7700P based)) kernel: DVB: registering frontend 0 (DiBcom 7000PC)... kernel: MT2060: successfully identified (IF1 = 1220) kernel: dvb-usb: Leadtek Winfast DTV Dongle B (STK7700P based) successfully initialized and connected. kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver dvb_usb_dib0700 My kernel patch ( other scripts to patch the Fedora 8 src rpm's available on request) ---------------- --- a/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dib0700_devices.c 2008-02-13 10:05:13.000000000 +1100 +++ b/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dib0700_devices.c 2008-02-13 10:22:16.000000000 +1100 @@ -280,6 +280,7 @@ struct usb_device_id dib0700_usb_id_tabl { USB_DEVICE(USB_VID_LEADTEK, USB_PID_WINFAST_DTV_DONGLE_STK7700P) }, { USB_DEVICE(USB_VID_HAUPPAUGE, USB_PID_HAUPPAUGE_NOVA_T_STICK_2) }, { USB_DEVICE(USB_VID_AVERMEDIA, USB_PID_AVERMEDIA_VOLAR_2) }, + { USB_DEVICE(USB_VID_LEADTEK, USB_PID_WINFAST_DTV_DONGLE_STK7700P_B) }, { } /* Terminating entry */ }; MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(usb, dib0700_usb_id_table); @@ -321,7 +322,7 @@ struct dvb_usb_device_properties dib0700 }, }, - .num_device_descs = 6, + .num_device_descs = 7, .devices = { { "DiBcom STK7700P reference design", { &dib0700_usb_id_table[0], &dib0700_usb_id_table[1] }, @@ -346,6 +347,10 @@ struct dvb_usb_device_properties dib0700 { "Leadtek Winfast DTV Dongle (STK7700P based)", { &dib0700_usb_id_table[8], NULL }, { NULL }, + }, + { "Leadtek Winfast DTV Dongle B (STK7700P based)", + { &dib0700_usb_id_table[11], NULL }, + { NULL }, } } }, { DIB0700_DEFAULT_DEVICE_PROPERTIES, --- a/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-ids.h 2008-02-13 10:05:13.000000000 +1100 +++ b/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-ids.h 2008-02-13 10:18:00.000000000 +1100 @@ -148,6 +148,7 @@ #define USB_PID_WINFAST_DTV_DONGLE_COLD 0x6025 #define USB_PID_WINFAST_DTV_DONGLE_WARM 0x6026 #define USB_PID_WINFAST_DTV_DONGLE_STK7700P 0x6f00 +#define USB_PID_WINFAST_DTV_DONGLE_STK7700P_B 0x6f01 #define USB_PID_GENPIX_8PSK_COLD 0x0200 #define USB_PID_GENPIX_8PSK_WARM 0x0201 #define USB_PID_SIGMATEK_DVB_110 0x6610 _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb ----- Original Message ----- From: "Antti Palosaari" <crope@xxxxxx> To: "ptay1685" <ptay1685@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, March 24, 2008 9:43 AM Subject: Re: leadtek dtv dongle |
