Add a good overall image of what the device looks like here

This page is intended to be cut and pasted as the basis for a new card being added to the wiki. Simply click edit, cut the contents and then paste into your new entry. All of these italics parts within the " can be deleted.

First we need a brief summary: What type of device and who released it? Include wiki links to the card type and the vendor. At the end you will need to add links from those pages back to this one.
Example:
A DVB-S2 PCIe card from NetUP Inc.

The menu will build itself, just use the headings below.

Overview/Features

Discuss the features and facets of the device here
Example:

  • PCI interface
  • Inputs: Antenna (Composite), Remote and S-Video In

Components Used

List the hardware ICs and modules used by the device here
Example:

  • PCI Interface IC: NXP SAA7130HL
  • Demodulator: MT352
  • Tuner: QT1010

Images

Use the included code to insert other images if necessary. Add as many high resolution pictures as you can i.e the card, the original box, the remote and give them detailed specific names. Note: you need to have taken the pics yourself or gotten permission to copy them.
Example:

Identification

Provide the relevant output of lspci -vvn or, in the case of usb devices, lsusb -v here. We're particularly interested in the subsystem ID's. To make a code block simply make the first character of each line a space.
Example:

# lspci -vvvnn
04:03.0 Multimedia controller [0480]: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder [1131:7130] (rev 01)

Making it Work

Is it supported under Linux? Are there experimental drivers? Does it partially work or identify as another card? (if yes, add these below)

Firmware

Is there any firmware specific information for this device? if so, list it here. If your device doesn't require a firmware, simply delete this section.

Drivers

Provide the details of where the drivers and patches and necessary tools are available.

Sample kernel output

Provide the relevant portion of dmesg here.
Example:

Remote Control Support

Discuss support for the remote control here.

External Links

Provide a link to the vendor's product page here along with any other external link to information that is generally helpful in relation to the device.
Example:

Finally, add anything else that you think might be relevent under an appropriate heading.
