Diary

J'ai fait l'acquisition d'un dongle USB TerraTec Cinergy Piranha après avoir trouvé son nom sur DVB-T_USB_Devices dans la section des matériels supportés. Mal m'en pris. Il n'est pas supporté out-of-the-box...

Linux bureau 2.6.18-5-amd64 #1 SMP Thu May 31 23:51:05 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux

à l'insertion du dongle dans un port usb, dmesg ne rapporte que ceci :(

usb 2-3.3: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 9
usb 2-3.3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

et lsusb ne rapporte pas grand chose d'utile non plus

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 187f:0010

et la compil des pilotes donne une erreur

Hack pour le driver...

D'après http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/devel/37175
"If you change both #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE lines from 13 to 19 you'll get it to compile (with a warning)..."

Une fois cela fait, le "make" tourne sans erreur de même que le "make install".

Reste à ce que le dongle apparaisse là ou il faut (/dev/dvb)... Ce qui n'est pas le cas spontanément :(

USB ID

Next step is to find the chipset used without voiding my warranty if possible. Also as I m not to good handling small things, if I try to open it, I will not be able to remount it properly... but if this is needed I will "donate" the stick to the cause...

A first round of googling doesn't give positive anwers (yet)...
