well it looks like i could be stuffed
just found the new windows driver and they call it a dual 5

heres a snip of the driver.inf

%AvsBluebird.DVBT_Dual.DeviceDesc% =Bluebird2.DVBT_NANO2, 
USB\VID_0FE9PID_DB78  ; DUAL4 (XC3028+Zarlink)
%AvsBluebird.DVBT_Hawk1.DeviceDesc%=Bluebird2.DVBT_HAWK1, 
USB\VID_0FE9PID_DB80  ; Firehawk1 (DNOS504Z)
%AvsBluebird.DVBT_Dual5.DeviceDesc%=Bluebird2.DVBT_NANO_DIB1, 
USB\VID_0FE9PID_DB98  ; DUAL5 (DIB7070PA x 2)
note Dual 5  thats my card

link to driver
ftp://ftp.dvico.com/Products/FusionHDTV/Down/FusionHDTV3.66.01Web.exe

looks like we could  be stuffed

 if i change the id in the usb id file the it finds it and loads
 the card apperas as a dvb 0, 1
 but dmeg shows frontend not loaded
 
 That sounds like you haven't changed the USB IDs in the firmware loading
 code - presumably it uses the IDs to figure out which firmware files to
 load, and if it doesn't know about the IDs it doesn't even try to load
 any firmware.
 
 I think you need to figure out how to force it to load some firmware
 files before you can get any further.
 
 Cheers,
 Adam.

 have chris pascoe intrested but he is very busy so could be a while
 before he looks into it
 the new card has a new hardware id  last 2 digits is 98 not 78
 am working with a mate who has a revision 1.1 card
 if i change the v4l-dvb haidware id to mine
 linux will pick it up and install the driver
 but can not find the frontend (using mythtv)
 what is the command that you usb to give all the info about the card
 so i can check against an working one
 and maybe pick whats differnet

Wow, lucky the card I bought last week was a rev1.1!  I would imagine
the rev2.0 card would be using different firmware - I assume you've
correctly installed the firmware for the rev1.1 card?  If that doesn't
work, you could try extracting the firmware from the Windows driver,
assuming that's where Chris got it from in the first place.

This is what dmesg reports when I initialise the card:

xc2028 2-0061: Loading firmware for type=BASE F8MHZ (3), id
   .
xc2028 2-0061: Loading firmware for type=D2620 DTV7 (88), id
   .
xc2028 2-0061: Loading SCODE for type=DTV7 ZARLINK456 SCODE (2280),
   id .
xc2028 2-0061: Device is Xceive 3028 version 1.0, firmware version 2.7

With this firmware:

$ ls /lib/firmware/
total 48K
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root   92 2008-02-23 11:54 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 8.0K 2008-02-23 23:38 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9.0K 2007-11-20 01:15 xc3028-dvico-au-01.fw

What does yours say?

Adam.

nothing in dmesg
firmware in folder
chris asked me for a ssh box
is installed and ready to go
only thing loaded is chris's v4l tree
if you wanted to have a look ill email you the details


heres the lsusb

If Chris is looking into it then that's good, I'm not exactly an expert
in these sorts of things.

 heres the lsusb
 
 Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0fe9:db98 DVICO
 Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0fe9:db98 DVICO
 
 Note the hw id mine end in 98 yours in 78

If nothing is showing up in dmesg then the driver mustn't be trying to
load the firmware - I suspect that getting the driver to load the
firmware, and finding the right firmware, will be enough to get it to
work - they don't usually change that much between hardware revisions.

Cheers,
Adam.
