Inserting a USB DVB-T stick (http://www.terratec.net/en/products/driver/produkte_treiber_en_33211.html into a USB port, gives the following in dmesg with current FACTORY, and similarly for openSUSE 11.1:

I didn't find linux/Documentation/dvb/ all that helpful, but Google is your friend and so I got the firmware and stashed it to /lib/firmware.
So, my personal problem is addressed (except that the tuner fails to get a signal "dvbsi: Cant tune DVB", but that may be due to bad signal).
However, my concern is that this is really not the experience we'd like to provide to openSUSE users.
How can be improve upon this?
Get TerraTec to release the firmware under a license that we can distribute it :) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
