[linux-dvb] Hauppauge Nova-T 500 problem, probably erased eeprom

[Benjamin Morgan]

Hi All,

I'm experiencing problems getting a hauppauge Nova T 500 to work on my
system, based on the thread
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-dvb@linuxtv.org/msg26676.html it
sounds like my card has an erased eeprom, how can I check this? Is
there a line from lsusb that shows this?

I've tried doing what was suggested in the thread to force the driver
to recognise the device as a Nova T 500 however this hasn't worked.
For reference I edited the following:

linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-ids.h - added the following lines:
#define USB_PID_HAUPPAUGE_NOVA_T_500_4                  0x10b8
#define USB_PID_HAUPPAUGE_NOVA_T_500_5                  0x0066

/linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dib0700_devices.c - added the following lines:
       { USB_DEVICE(USB_VID_HAUPPAUGE, USB_PID_HAUPPAUGE_NOVA_T_500_4) },
        { USB_DEVICE(USB_VID_HAUPPAUGE, USB_PID_HAUPPAUGE_NOVA_T_500_5) },

and then ran a make, make install and shutdown the computer and
restarted it however it is still not being recognised.

The system I am running it on is a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10, some
details as follows:

Details from the card:

modprobe dvb-usb-dib0700 debug=8 then dmesg:
[ 1144.779172] dib0700: loaded with support for 8 different device-types
[ 1144.783648] usbcore: registered new interface driver dvb_usb_dib0700

any suggestions would be most welcome
