The aforementioned patch was against an experimental cx88 driver that was never committed upstream. I exchanged email with the maintainer of this subsystem, which follows here:

This patch seems to be generated against an old experimental cx88 driver that were never committed. AFAIK, nobody worked on it after that patch. I just checked at the ML and saw an user complaining about that and offering to help on developing the patch. I'll provide an answer for the user, suggesting some things that he can do it. Those info may also be useful for you, if you want to help on adding support for that board. Cheers, Mauro -- The Mailing List (ML) that Mauro refers to is the DVB mailing list: http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb and here's a link to the head of that email thread in the archive: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-November/030597.html It's going to take some community effort on this by people who have the hardware in order to add the driver to the kernel. -- Driver for terratec cinergy ht pci mkII https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237982 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
