TBS 6902 Fedora 32

TBS 6902 Fedora 32

[Ken Smith]

Hi All,

I've been trying to get the driver to compile for a TBS 6902. I'm using 
Fedora 32 with a 5.7.2 kernel. I've tried TBS's own driver, and two 
varieties of open source drivers ( Luis Alves and a forked one) and get 
various compile failures. Would anyone care to share if they have a 
working configuration that is on a similar configuration. That would 
save my re-inventing the wheel tracing the problem.

I've downloaded the kernel-header package, some of the errors suggest I 
need the kernel source. I'm not a developer, but I'm a reasonably 
tenacious fault tracer. If there is a particular driver package that is 
preferred for some reason then I'd be grateful for any pointers.

I have a few questions.

How come this driver is not part of the DVB package?

Why do the available packages for this also compile/replace the whole of 
the DVB module tree? Wouldn't it be better to be able to just compile 
this module alone and add the module to the remainder? Perhaps there is 
some subtlety in here that I'm missing.

Grateful for any pointers...

Many thanks

Ken
