I'm trying to connect this dongle to my PC, so i can use it as a WiFi.
My raspberry pi, shows the exact same behavior, so I'm using this as my dev environment.
According to http://wikidevi.com/wiki/Philips_PTA01, it uses the ath9k_htc driver
I can see my syslog detects the Dongle
Code:
raspbmc kernel: [ 162.024209] usb 1-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 5 using dwc_otg
raspbmc kernel: [ 162.172250] usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=0471, idProduct=209e
raspbmc kernel: [ 162.172279] usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=16, Product=32, SerialNumber=48
raspbmc kernel: [ 162.172294] usb 1-1.2: Product: PTA-01
raspbmc kernel: [ 162.172304] usb 1-1.2: Manufacturer: PHILIPS TV
raspbmc kernel: [ 162.172315] usb 1-1.2: SerialNumber: 10
As the ath driver doesnt know the idVendor and idProduct, thus not loading the firmware, i patched the driver with the correct information.
This results in the dongle getting modprobed and firmware is loaded

Any ideas what to do next? As the dongle works with my philips tv, there must some linux support, but i havent been able to locate it.
One next step could be to ask Philips for the kernel source for my tv, which they should provide..
Any ideas appriciated
