Hi,

I'm trying to get Geniatech X9320 DVB-S/S2 PCIe Quad Tuner card working,
but i'm new to linux kernel drivers developement

It has a similar hardware configuration as TechnoTrend TT-connect 
S2-4600
* D720201    USB host controller
* cy68013A   USB bridge (4x)
* m88ds3103  Demodulator (4x)
* m88ts2022  Tuner (4x)

As it seems to me all components are supported by Linux, but they are 
for another device.

I have taken a look in the dw2102.c driver source code, and I see that 
there is firmware
loaded, my question is: where is this firmware going?: into the cy68013A 
or m88ds3103 chips?
or somewhere else?.

I looked at the site Geniatech, but even that they say there is a Linux 
driver
in the archive the actual implementation is not there.

I hope that there is anyone how can help me to get this card working 
under Linux.

Kind regards,
