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
It appears that dvb-usb-rtl2832u.ko is just rtl2832u.ko with a prefix of "dvb-usb-" tacked on by the makefile. Here: http://forum.stmlabs.com/showthread.php?tid=6780 we see others doing: sudo chown root:root /tmp/dvb-usb-rtl2832.ko sudo mv /tmp/dvb-usb-rtl2832.ko /lib/modules/3.6.11/kernel/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-usb/ sudo depmod -a so the name prefix appears to be no biggie.
and dmesg complains of no frontend: dvb-usb: found a 'RTL2832U DVB-T USB DEVICE' in warm state. ... [ 2041.251663] dvb-usb: RTL2832U DVB-T USB DEVICE successfully initialized and connected.
OK, the module has been loaded, and runs. The problem now is to make it run as desired, AIUI. Googling for "dvb-usb: no frontend was attached", the first hit discusses the need for a device ID with "dc02", rather than "dc01". What does lsusb show? It seems to be time to pat yourself on the back for succeeding in building the module for the newer kernel, before moving on to tickling it into performing as desired. The "no frontend" seems to have multiple possible causes, all only vaguely alluded to, if a quick google scan is indicative. (I don't know anything about this stuff.)
