Heitmueller > http://www.devinheitmueller.com > AIM: devinheitmueller Hi, Sorry for top post :( What is the name of the source file for ez-usb fx2 driver (to which as I understand I have to add my USB device id)? 'For your product, you need to do basically the same thing' - do you want me to add information about my card and its device profile to em28xx-cards.c for analog TV and to em28xx-dvb.c for Digital?
