Driver for 6981 loads OK, firmware too. I can lock and watch tv`s. But the devices has no MAC address: Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: adapter = 7, device = 0 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: mac = 00:00:00:00:00:00 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: frontend = Conexant CX24117/CX24132 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: adapter = 6, device = 0 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: mac = 00:00:00:00:00:00 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: frontend = Conexant CX24117/CX24132 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: adapter = 5, device = 0 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: mac = 00:00:00:00:00:00 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: frontend = Conexant CX24117/CX24132 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: adapter = 4, device = 0 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: mac = 00:00:00:00:00:00 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: frontend = Conexant CX24117/CX24132 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: adapter = 3, device = 0 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: mac = 00:00:00:00:00:00 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: frontend = Tmax TAS2101 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: adapter = 2, device = 0 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: mac = 00:00:00:00:00:00 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: frontend = Tmax TAS2101 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: adapter = 1, device = 0 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: mac = 00:00:00:00:00:00 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: frontend = Tmax TAS2101 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: adapter = 0, device = 0 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: mac = 00:00:00:00:00:00 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: frontend = Tmax TAS2101 Jun 04 13:50:03: INFO: [main] exit

This is the dmesg (TBS6981): http://pastebin.com/MhmFdyBY

The next thing - driver for TBS6985 shows error: http://pastebin.com/0a74XpK6 I trying on stable kernel 4.0.4 (stock and custom) and 4.1.0-RC3 (from this git source)

Everything works, but mac addresses are important to identify adapters, because sometimes they are messed up on load...

Same on Debian Jessie with stock (debian) 3.16.0 kernel and without TBS6985 driver error - all works, but no mac addresses.

Do you know if the cards have a MAC address stored? Do you get one with the manufacturer-provided drivers?

similar75 commented 9 years ago

Yes, they have. When i use TBS proprietary drivers (closed-source) they have mac addresses and driver displays them on load.

@similar75, I'll add the mac address assignment as soon as I can.
