Hey,

I have a problem installing the driver dvb_usb_cxusb for my rebranded Geniatech T230C2 DVB-T2 usb device. I am using Arch Linux with the newest kernel (4.16).

I realized I had to download and install the driver & firmware manually so I followed the LinuxTV guide (https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Geniatech_T230C2). It seems I don't get the correct / newest version of the dvb_usb_cxusb driver because my device (ID c68a) is never supported. The linked tutorial doesn't have this issue. I got the media_build from two different repositories, compiled the drivers and installed. The driver version is always 1.0-alpha so I can't tell which version is really installed.

Do you have any idea how I can solve this issue? How can I verify which driver version is being loaded / compiled? Maybe at least one of the repositories have the correct driver version but I somehow have to uninstall the old driver?

Detailed information:

dmesg after plugging in the usb device:

usb 2-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci
usb 2-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=0572, idProduct=c68a
usb 2-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
usb 2-1.2: Product: EyeTV Stick
usb 2-1.2: Manufacturer: Geniatech
usb 2-1.2: SerialNumber: 161206

Installation command:

git clone [repo]
cd media_build
./build
sudo make install

[repo]: https://bitbucket.org/CrazyCat/media_build.git and https://git.linuxtv.org/cgit.cgi/media_build.git

Using ./build --git https://github.com/crazycat69/linux_media latest is not working because repository is no longer available.
