Hello everyone, i own a TerraTec Cinergy T Stick Black device, and was able to find a working driver for the device. It seems to be, that the driver was originally written by Realtek and has since been updated by different Developers to meet DVB API changes. I was wondering what would be the necessary steps to include the driver into the kernel sources?
The one thing that needs to be solved before even thinking about the integration, is the licencing of the code. I did find it on two different locations, but without any licencing information. So probably Realtek should be contacted. I am willing to deal with that, but need furter information on under whitch lisence the code has to be relased. So far, I put up a Github repository for the driver, which enables me to compile the proper kernel modue at https://github.com/tmair/DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U-2.2.2-10tuner-mod_kernel-3.0.0 The modificatioins to the driver where taken from openpli http://openpli.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=openpli/openembedded;a=blob;f=recipes/linux/linux-etxx00/dvb-usb-rtl2832.patch;h=063114c8ce4a2dbcf8c8dde1b4ab4f8e329a2afa;hb=HEAD In the driver sources I stumbled accross many different devices containig the RTL28XX chipset, so I suppose the driver would enably quite many products to work. As I am relatively new to the developement of dvb drivers I appreciate any help in stabilizing the driver and proper integration into the dvb API.
