I think it was 2.6.37-1-kirkwood from Debian which I was using (this is
an ARM system).

Can I ask why it only works on the PCTV devices?  I was under the
impression that the TechnoTrend hardware was identical?


If you are able to provide any pointers as to where the TechnoTrend
support is broken (or what debugging I should be turning on to figure
out where it is broken) then that would be helpful.

I don't have hardware, no PCTV neither TechnoTrend. I just converted
PCTV as Marx seems to have such device and he was blaming. Code wasn't
100% similar, for example TechnoTrend has CI PCTV doesn't.

It should not fix problems but it could since I fixed some nasty bugs.
Lets wait test report first and make decision what to do after that.

The pctv452e and TT-connect S2-3600 are identical in hardware. Only USB
IDs and remote control codes differ between the two. The Pinnacle box
has its own remote. The TT-connect uses the same RC as the TT-budget
series.
The TT-connect S2-3650-CI has an additional CI slot.

OK. In addition to CI support and remote controller there was also .read_mac_address() callback implemented for TechnoTrend. But as .read_mac_address() is heavily optional and useless it could be possible driver author just left it unimplemented for PCTV - or PCTV does not has MAC address.

You seems to be marked as a one module author, I can guess you know reason?

Also if you has hardware, could you make some tests in order to get that driver fixed :]
