Hi,

I recently purchased two Nova T-500 (as far as I can tell it’s not one of the diversity range) cards one is the 99101 LF rev D8B5 and one is the 99102 LF rev C1B5. The 99101 LF is detected, the other is not. The only difference I can see is the postfix of the Dib 0700 chips. The working one is the Dib0700C-XCXXa-G and the other is Dib0700-1211b-G. With only the undetected card in, there is no mention of the dib0700 in dmesg and lspci shows:

02:05.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev 61)

02:05.1 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82xxxxx UHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev 61)

02:05.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB 2.0 (rev 63)

Which I presume is the VT6212L on the cards.

Is there something different I need to do for the second card or is it just not supported? Since I can get them both to work with the supplied Hauppauge software under Windows I am assuming it is not a faulty card.

Any help is very much appreciated. Many thanks,

Ian

Thanks for the fast reply! lsusb says:

Bus 005 Device 002: ID 2040:9940 Hauppauge Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

going back on list.

Mine says

Bus 010 Device 002: ID 2040:9950 Hauppauge

and is recognized.

You will need to edit

linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dvb-usb-ids.h

and define a new ID there (around line 128), then edit

linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/dib0700_devices.c

and add the ID info (around line 980). I wonder if there is something to do around line 114 too, but not being a coder, I'm lost there.

A proper dev should probably confirm.
