This is the same problem why the tree on
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~jhoogenraad/rtl2831-r2/
does not work for newer kernels.
I have decided AGAINST making it runnable on newer kernels, as there are
some people working right now on a new release.
Once the status becomes more clear, I'll update

Hi, I bought one of these things having seen the Linux penguin on the
box and compiled the code from the
http://jms.id.au/wiki/EzcapDvbAdapter web page on a quad core AMD64
machine using 3.0.0-rc5 Linux kernel and GCC 4.6.1 under Debian sid.
On boot-up the device is at least partially recognised:

but apparently no device files are created (there is no /dev/dvb tree).
Any suggestions for things to try to get this working welcome.

Arthur.
