Which "Terratec driver" are you refering to ?

Is this a Terratec-provided driver ?

As I mentioned in my original post, the one at
ftp://ftp.terratec.net/Receiver/Cinergy_T_USB_XE/Update/Cinergy_T_USB_XE_MKII_Drv_Linux.zip
does not compile _at_all_ and this is not (or not only) a matter of kernel
version. There are many semantic errors that no C compiler would accept
(except maybe the K&R from the 70's). I started to fix the errors but when
I realized how bad it was, my trust in this code dropped and I gave up.
