TBS 6909 linux install / reinstall problem

[paule3d]

I had this working a few months ago.
THen I havent used it.

Today the card drivers are not loaded. /dev/dvb/ does not exist.
lspci shows 6909

I try to reinstall following instructions http://www.tbsiptv.com/download/tbs6909 ... _guide.pdf

on step "make", this is output (I even tried sudo make):

make[2]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.0-45-generic'

Hello guys. I think I have got it working before I saw your reply -

I don't know what fixed it as I did a lot of things:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Then I see somebody else having similar problems installing pci card on linux and he says this command fixed things for him, so I tried this:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential subversion mercurial openssl gettext libssl-dev screen libv4l-dev

full driver install
reboot

Now I have 8 adapters in /dev/dvb

Hopefully this will help somebody else who has same problem and find this page on google.

Regards
