Hi,
I recently bought a Gigabyte U7000 usb 2.0 dvb-t dongle.
According to linuxtv.org it should work under linux (I know it is not
freebsd...) with the dib0700 firmware
(http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices#DiB0700_USB2.0_DVB-T_devices).
But under fbsd it doesn't...
I'm running :
bsdaddict# uname -a
FreeBSD bsdaddict 7.0-STABLE FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #3: Thu May 29 20:47:26 UTC
2008 root at bsdaddict:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/BENI-DBSD i386
Following the instructions on http://raaf.atspace.org/dvbusb/ I downloaded,
compiled and kldload'ed the sources .ko with no problem :
bsdaddict# kldstat | grep dvb
18 1 0xc7fe4000 7000 dvbusb.ko
But then checking dmesg :
ugen0: <GIGABYTE U7000, class 0/0, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 3> on uhub4
This is all I get. No dvbusb0 is coming up.
When I try to download the firmware (I tried 2 of them, the dibusb and
dib0700) I get (result is the same when doing it as root or as user member of
the operator-group) :
bsdaddict# dd if=/boot/modules/dvb-usb-dibusb-6.0.0.8.fw of=/dev/ugen0 bs=1m
dd: /dev/ugen0: Operation not supported by device

Any pointers on how to get this dvb-t stick working under freebsd 7.0 ?
Thanks a lot for any help !
