[linux-dvb] Trouble with the WinTV Nova USB frontend driver

[Mikko Rauhala <mjrauhal@cc.helsinki.fi>]

Hi

I'm trying to get the WinTV Nova DVB-T USB device working on my Debian
Sid box (with kernel 2.6.7 as shipped in Debian; should have pretty
recent DVB drivers, yes?). Oh, the box is a ThinkPad T30 (will try with
another one on Sunday).

The trouble so far: hotplug recognizes the device fine and loads the
dvb_ttusb_budget driver, and along comes dvb_core. However, the frontend
driver isn't autoloaded, and when I do so manually, it doesn't do much
besides sitting in memory; I don't generally use devfs but I mounted it
on the side for debugging, and indeed, only demux0, dvr0 and net0 device
nodes appear. (I've gathered that the alps_tdmb7 driver is the correct
one to load, yes?)

This is the dmesg log when plugging the device in and after that loading
alps_tdmb7 with debug=1:

usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using address 4
ttusb_init_controller: dsp-version: 0.0
DVB: registering new adapter (Technotrend/Hauppauge Nova-USB).
usbcore: registered new driver Technotrend/Hauppauge USB-Nova
init_tdmb7
tdmb7_attach

Any help would be appreciated. I will of course provide further
information if it's necessary; that's just what I thought would be
useful. Thanks.
