This driver has been working in
my own use quite well, especially after upgrading the bios to the latest available version from TerraTec.

Regards,
Tomi Orava

what "bios" do you mean? the firmware?

Quoted 4 lines

Could you check what is the firmware version in your device ? Check for the "bcdDevice" keyword with lsusb -v -s <busid>:<devnum> I had way too many problems with 1.06 firmware version, but the newer 1.08 seems to be a little bit better in stability.

I was not aware that this device uses a firmware. Do I have to flash it into the box? Is this possible with Linux? Where do I find the firmware?

Greets,
Martin Dauskardt

You can get the latest firmware from Terratec ftp-site:
ftp://ftp.terratec.net/Receiver/CinergyT2/Update/History/CinergyT2_Firmware_Update_1.08.exe

The very same directory also contains the original proprietary (NOT BDA) windows drivers which are needed before you can use the included flash loader. Unfortutenaly, I don't know any way to do the update in Linux.

Tomi Orava
