Hi,

Ignore the conexant error. The driver cannot know which device you exactly 
have other than trying to guess. And guessing works, by trying every 
possible frontend-driver. The CX24123 says wrong revision. OK, that is 
correct, there is no CX24123.

The following line says the truth:

[ 3083.612219] b2c2-flexcop: found 'Zarlink MT352 DVB-T' .

>From the init point of view everything looks correct here.

The error messages when unplugging are strange, but should not prevent you 
from using it.

However. Maybe it is better to sell the device at Ebay and buy another 
(better) one. Yours is only USB1.1, you cannot receive a complete 
transport stream with it.

Did you try the device in Windows using the same antenna?

Patrick.
