[karmic] regression: WinFast DTV 2000 H support has disappeared

In my dmesg, I get this (which also appeared in 8.10, but with a shorter list):

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please execute the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:

apport-collect 433904

This will help us to find and resolve the problem. Bear in mind that you may need to install the python-launchpadlib package from the universe repository. Additionally, when prompted to give apport-collect permissions for Launchpad you will need to give it at least the ability to "Change Non-Private" data as it will be adding information to your bug report. Thanks in advance!

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport, either via the appropriate application's "Help -> Report a Problem" menu or using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.

Seems that this used to be fixed in Jaunty via a sauce patch, also there is an up to date fix in 2.6.32-rc1:

  commit 4d14c833c0d5f926721da1e0b07287ab8b64f0ba
  Author: Vlastimil Labsky <email address hidden>
  Date: Mon Aug 10 22:15:54 2009 -0300

    V4L/DVB (12439): cx88: add support for WinFast DTV2000H rev. J

This patch seem to apply to karmic 2.6.31 based kernels.

I pulled that upstream patch and build a test kernel which can be found at http://people.canonical.com/~smb/bug433904/. Could someone test and give feedback here? Thanks

Hi,

After installing the patch above MythTV recognised my Winfast DTV 2000 H (Rev. J), and I managed to get MythTV set and working in both V4L and DVB-T. Channels work with both proper video and sound.

This was the upstream patch used

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-karmic.git;a=commit;h=63fe0d13694b7f39b94116c2a37b39b807cdbbdc

This bug was fixed in the package linux - 2.6.31-13.42
