I don't think it supports the Terratec hardware since the list of USB ids doesn't include the Terratec products: static struct usb_device_id dabusb_ids [] = { // { USB_DEVICE(0x0547, 0x2131) }, /* An2131 chip, no boot ROM */ { USB_DEVICE(0x0547, 0x9999) }, { } /* Terminating entry */ }; So this driver will never be loaded when a Terratec USB device is connected.

Unless someone will pick up this source code and starts to work with us on designing an API it will probably be forgotten :-( As far as I can tell (please correct me if I am wrong) the hardware either no longer available or very hard to get hold off. I did see that Terratec still sells some DAB receivers, but they are all based on different hardware.
