1 Well, I bought a new TV tuner card for MythTV, a Hauppauge QuadHD.
2
3 It uses the cx23885 driver, but I can't find it anywhere.
4
5 According to menuconfig:
6
7 Symbol: VIDEO_CX23885 [=n]
8
9
10
11 Type : tristate
12
13
14
15 Prompt: Conexant cx23885 (2388x successor) support
16
17
18 Location:
19 -> Device Drivers
20
21
22 -> Multimedia support (MEDIA_SUPPORT [=y])
23
24
25 (1) -> Media PCI Adapters (MEDIA_PCI_SUPPORT [=y])
26
27 But it isn't there.
28
29 I checked its dependencies:
30
31 Depends on: MEDIA_SUPPORT [=y] &&
32 MEDIA_PCI_SUPPORT [=y] &&
33 (MEDIA_ANALOG_TV_SUPPORT [=n] || MEDIA_DIGITAL_TV_SUPPORT [=y]) &&
34 DVB_CORE [=y] &&
35 VIDEO_DEV [=n] &&
36 PCI [=y] &&
37 I2C [=y] &&
38 INPUT [=y] &&
39 SND [=y] &&
40 RC_CORE [=y]
41
42 ..and... :
43
44 # grep
45 'CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT=\|CONFIG_MEDIA_PCI_SUPPORT=\|CONFIG_MEDIA_ANALOG_TV_SUPPORT=\|CONFIG_MEDIA_DIGITAL_TV_SUPPORT=\|CONFIG_DVB_CORE=\|CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=\|CONFIG_PCI=\|CONFIG_I2C=\|CONFIG_INPUT=\|CONFIG_SND=\|CONFIG_RC_CORE='
46 .config
47 CONFIG_PCI=y
48 CONFIG_INPUT=y
49 CONFIG_I2C=y
50 CONFIG_RC_CORE=y
51 CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT=y
52 CONFIG_MEDIA_DIGITAL_TV_SUPPORT=y
53 CONFIG_DVB_CORE=y
54 CONFIG_MEDIA_PCI_SUPPORT=y
55 CONFIG_SND=y
56
57 So why on earth isn't it showing? The dependencies should be satisfied.
58 I hope someone has some insight... I've had this problem before with
59 tuner cards not showing and I can't remember how I fixed it.
60
61 Kernel version is 5.4.2, but I also tried 4.14.143 with no difference...
