Mini-bounty: £10 for a Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T kernel

[Lyndon Drake]

Hi,

I've had a Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T PCI card for some time, and have been
unable to get an Ubuntu kernel to work with it.  I was under the
impression that the 2.6.12 kernel had the correct drivers, but I'm
guessing it's a later version of the kernel as I've just installed the
kernel from Breezy without any Nova-T success.  I have built my own
2.6.12 kernel patched with linux-dvb cvs, which successfully displays TV
from the card, but which sadly has the additional feature of stopping my
sound card from functioning.

Having limited time to sort this all out, as a fun incentive for some
help on this problem I'll send a £10 Amazon.co.uk voucher (or a USD 15
amazon.com voucher if you prefer) to the first person who can give me a
working Ubuntu kernel subject to the constraints:

1.  the kernel should have the current set of Ubuntu patches applied
(i.e. not just the stock kernel, it should be a modification of the
existing Ubuntu kernel package)

2.  you'll need to make it available as a source package as well as a
binary (though I want a 686 binary build for myself :-)

3.  it needs to function without locking my machine up, disabling my
sound card or introducing other major regressions (all my attempts have
resulted in at least one of those outcomes...)

4.  my Nova-T needs to function correctly (fairly obviously)

5.  I am the sole arbiter of successful completion of the bounty.

The Nova-T is a widely available PCI TV card that doesn't work on Ubuntu
at the moment, so I'd like to encourage the production of a kernel that
works so that other people can benefit too.  It shouldn't be too
difficult a task, as the relevant patches are available in linux-dvb cvs
(and, I believe, in the -mm tree).

Any takers?

Cheers,
Lyndon
