Install instructions

  • copy above patch to file (e.g. TerraTec_Cinergy_T-Stick.patch) and save it your home directory
  • download driver from TerraTec support site
wget http://linux.terratec.de/files/Linux-Driver-for-T-Stick.rar
  • extract driver package
unrar x Linux-Driver-for-T-Stick.rar
  • enter driver directory
cd Linux_PC_AF9035_Afatech_2008.12.17/
  • enter driver directory according to your Kernel architecture
    • for 32 bit
cd Linux-32bit_AF9035_20081217/
    • for 64 bit
cd Linux-64bit_AF9035_20081217/
  • extract driver package
tar zxvf AF903x_SRC.tar.gz
  • enter driver directory
cd AF903x_SRC/
  • apply patch (from home directory)
patch af903x-devices.c ~/TerraTec_Cinergy_T-Stick.patch
  • compile
make
  • install (as root)
make install

Device should work if everything goes correctly. Few distribution specific install commands you may wish use:

Fedora:

su -c "make install"

Ubuntu:

sudo make install

Driver does support Kernels from 2.6.16 to 2.6.27. If you have newer Kernel then you could try compile it against 2.6.27 headers (cp v4l/kernel-2.6.27/* ./). In that case there is big risk it doesn't work and crashes your Kernel when device is plugged.
