=== Firmware ===
(You may find it as dvb-kernel/linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dibusb-mb.c)


You will need either [[Firmware|dvb-usb-dibusb-5.0.0.11.fw or dvb-usb-dibusb-an2235-01.fw]] in <tt>/lib/firmware</tt> or the relevant place for your distribution.
Note that the lines change. I believe the line you need to uncomment is this one:

#define DVB_USB_DIBUSB_MB_FAULTY_USB_IDs


Just use Mercurial by following the [[How_to_install_DVB_device_drivers]] instructions.
4) Load modules (using [[Artec_T1_USB_TV_Box#load.sh | load.sh]])


You may need to make sure that the "Support faulty USB IDs" option is enabled.
5) rmmod usbtest (if it loaded) and if it loaded again, remove it in :
/lib/modules/**/kernel/drivers/usb/misc then type depmod -ae
