Heitmueller > http://www.devinheitmueller.com > AIM: devinheitmueller Hi Devin, There is no CY7C68013A driver. Cypress fx2 bus is mentioned for example in cxusb.c file. In dvb-usb-ids.h I probably need to add my card USB id and description. Cxusb.c is including lgdt330x.h ( I have lgdt3304), tuner-xc2028.h (probably that driver is supporting xc3028 also) and cx25840 is mentioned in the code also. Looks like the proper candidate to modify that source to provide support for my card. Please let me know if my thinking is correct.
