After my recent partial success with this : https://github.com/tmair/DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U-2.2.2-10tuner-mod_kernel-3.0.0... which I am about to d/l and try. Beats me why all of my previous searches for "rtl2832 and kernel 3.4" have not taken me to this possibly vital link. Rob Ok this compile works without errors. Yay (have you any idea how long I have been at this?) and creates a dvb-usb-rtl2832u.ko but not a rtl2832u.ko despite there being a bunch of files like rtl2832u.c and rtl2832u.o and dmesg complains of no frontend: dvb-usb: found a 'RTL2832U DVB-T USB DEVICE' in warm state. [ 2040.777066] dvb-usb: will pass the complete MPEG2 transport stream to the software demuxer. [ 2040.793621] DVB: registering new adapter (RTL2832U DVB-T USB DEVICE) [ 2040.833115] RTL2832U usb_init_bulk_setting : USB2.0 HIGH SPEED (480Mb/s) [ 2041.153012] RTL2832U check_tuner_type : ERROR Unknown tuner on board...

Getting there! So the make is running: CC [M] /home/debian/DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U-2.2.2-10tuner-mod_kernel-3.0.0/RTL2832-2.2.2_kernel-3.0.0/rtl2832u.o without errors and similar so should produce a rtl2832u.ko IMHO. I found that the vermagic of the module produced was incorrect - it should be vermagic: 3.4.67-sun4i+ preempt mod_unload modversions ARMv7 p2v8 instead get: vermagic: 3.4.67-sun4i preempt mod_unload modversions ARMv7 p2v8 In trying to track this down I have not found the source of sun4i versus sun4i+. Is it being determined by scripts/setlocalversion by any chance since .config and Makefile look correct. I have attached the .config Makefile and setlocalversion files. Thanks
