Device "Asus My Cinema-U3100Mini/DMB-TH" not working

[isaacchau]

ASUS My Cinema-U3100Mini/DMB-TH is an USB Digital TV device that use the DMB-T/H digital terrestrial television standard applied in the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong and Macau. (Ref : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMB-T/H)

The current linux-restricted-modules does not recognize this device.

The vid/pid for this device is :
# lsusb
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0b05:1721 ASUSTek Computer, Inc.

ASUS has released the firmware and source code for this device :
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/vga/tvtuner/asus-dmbth-20080528_tar.zip

This may related to Bug #95277, but this "DMB-T/H" version use a different pid.

It would be a good news to China/Hong Kong/Macau users if included this support into linux-restricted-modules.
Thank you

Hi howtojava,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

Hi Bryce,

Sorry that I have upgraded the system to 8.10, so I attached the output from kernel 2.6.27.
This device still not work on the newer kernel.

Thanks

Thank you for reporting this issue about a driver from the
linux-restricted-modules package. lrm-2.4.24 was shipped with Ubuntu
8.04 which reached end-of-life for desktop support on May 12th, 2011.

For that reason, this bug report is being closed at this time. I'm
marking it wontfix because what you describe is probably a valid issue,
but there are no plans to work on lrm 2.4.24 bugs further.

The issue may be resolved in a newer version. If not, aside from filing
a new bug report, another angle may be to file it directly with the
driver vendor.
