Unfortunately, there was no driver available for FreeBSD. After a few weeks of hacking, I have finally managed to get the device working by porting the sms1xxx (siano) Linux driver, using the dvbusb driver written by Raaf as an initial framework. The driver is available on my contributions' web page : http://contribs.martymac.com The code is available under the GPL v2.0 license, and is based on Linux version 2.6.27. It should work on any FreeBSD >= 7.x (i386/amd64, maybe other platforms too ?). Note that it has to be considered experimental since it has only been tested with one device (mine). It only supports the Terratec Cinergy Piranha device and may or may not work with yours. It also still uses the good-old USB stack and has not been tested with the new one. See the README file for more details : http://contribs.martymac.com/FreeBSD-siano/README Finally, this is my first driver, so please be indulgent ;-) Any feedback is welcome (of course) !
