Hi. This is my second attempt at trying to get my DVB card working under
linux (it seems to work fine with W2K). I'm using the vanilla kernel.org
2.6.1 sources.
# lspci -v
[...]
00:05.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01)
Subsystem: Technotrend Systemtechnik GmbH: Unknown device 1005
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 12
Memory at d9101000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512]
...so I'm meant to have the budget driver and tda1004x frontend, yes?

TT-Budget/WinTV-NOVA-T PCI adapter 0 has MAC addr = 00:d0:5c:20:41:ac
(I have edited the source and turned on debug in tda1004x.c)
If I'm reading this correctly, the module is trying to do a probe on the
i2c bus and getting back an error instead. I thought for a while it was
a problem with the firmware but it doesn't seem to be getting that far.
I don't believe that I've found a new bug here since Nova-T is a pretty
common card - am I missing something really obvious?
hmmm - your tda10045 does not replies to i2c messages, either your card
is broken or you discovered a new species. Is it working under Windows?
Is the tda10045 really a tda10045? Some people have reported that
Technotrend is now using the tda10046 in some of their USB boxes, this
one is not yet supported...
