No, the drivers I need were already there but I just checked my menuconfig and I see: Multimedia support -> Customize TV tuners -> NXP TDA18212 silicon tuner Is that what you're looking for? If so, all you need, I think, is "DVB for Linux" and "Customize analog and hybrid tuner modules to build" to get the "Customize TV tuners" option. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
