I don't think the product is supported. Just to be clear, you can't just modprobe the chip driver for whatever components happen to be in your device and expect it to work. If you are lucky enough to have a product where all the chipset drivers are already written, then a developer needs to write a device profile in the bridge driver. However, if it uses some components that are not supported, then it's a lot more work since an entire new driver needs to be written. If you want to help make it work, you should start by creating a page in the linuxtv.org wiki, and include high resolution digital photos of the circuit board, so people can get an accurate inventory of what chips are in the device in question. From there, perhaps a developer interested in adding the support can do the driver work. Cheers, Devin -- Devin J.
