Hi there,
This is my first post on this list; I hope I'm on the right place to discuss this problem. If
not, feel free to tell me where I should post.
I bought this DVB-T dual tuner card, in order to put it in my HTPC (running geeXboX/XBMC).
As far as I know, there where only support (patches) for kernel 2.6.x; I didn't find anything
for 3.x branch. So I tried to port the patches. And I think I got something... Well, maybe!
I followed the links on this wiki page:
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/TerraTec_Cinergy_2400i_DVB-T
It seems that the PCIe bridge used on this card needs a firmware in order to work; this is what
the patch does. I used this files:
http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/_attachment?target=/Terratec_Cinergy_2400i_DT/ngene_p11.tar.gz
As my desktop PC runs under debian sid, I only have a 3.2 kernel, so this is the version I
patched to test the driver.
I can provide all files needed, but I just want to know if the following messages sounds good
or if there are still problems...
During boot, I get:
nGene PCIE bridge driver, Copyright (C) 2005-2007 Micronas
ngene 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18

Then, when I launch w_scan, I get this from kernel:
drxd: deviceId = 0000
DRX3975D-A2
read deviation -520
drxd: deviceId = 0000
DRX3975D-A2

and this from w_scan (no antenna pluged):

Nothing to scan!!
Reading all these logs, can you tell me if you see obvious problems? I'm neither a kernel guru
(this is my first driver contact), nor a DVB-T user (so far!), so a lot of things are not clear
to me.
Thanks for reading.
¹ first time w_scan is launched, these lines take 2-3 seconds, and I guess this is when the
drxd kernel messages are output.
