Wow! Sorty for the late response but I just noticed your PR :) (e.g. I'm not being notified on this repo).

Normally PR are being pushed against spksrc master repository but I get it that you've changed one of my development branch in here, nice.

Note that I have rather limited cycles. This really is on my todo list but linuxtv is a beast to get sorted it for automated builds over Synology. I intend to revisit this after summer vacation, further as DSM7.1 kernel sources are now available.

Thnx and I'll reach-out again in early fall or earlier.

Also, FYI, I'm currently looking at including DSM-7.x kernel sources in this PR SynoCommunity#5790 but this is far from being ready yet.

Issue in using this is that the builds become no longer reproducible. That's why specific build version is being used, in hope to update to newer builds once every little while.

I think the archive was removed and the download broken so I used latest instead

Same applies here as linked.

The default is always being included when loading any other lines. In your case here you should rather create a new line specifically for this adapter module loading.

Looking into the kernel the Makefile entry name is CONFIG_DVB_USB_RTL28XXU to which in this case I'd use:

RTL28XXU="rtl28xxu"

So when calling the loading script with RTL28XXU as config option to use, it first loads all modules from the default line then will load this specific mode as well.

Ok makes sense

The work was useful as I was able to install the modiules rather easily this wat, bumped into some issues thats why I opened the PR
