Thanks Mauro.
With time I'll try.
For the time being, I am using the mcentral driver em28xx_new, which runs seamlessly.

Regards

Elio

It is probably not that complicated for you to fix the Cinergy Hybrid entry at
v4l-dvb.

You'll need to use usbsnoop tool to capture what the original driver is doing
[1]. 

After that, you can parse the log and fix the initialization values for
GPIO and GPO registers. You can also load em28xx with reg_dump=1 and parse the
dmesg output with the em28xx parser, comparing to what the windows driver did.
