Hi Azreal,
I'm in a similar situation, I have a Banana Pi. I'm using Igors Jessie Image with kernel 4.1.2 and I cant seem to see any of my usb dvb devices (one of which is Triplestick 292e).
Could you details what exactly you did, I've tried the the cross compiler with the menuconfig option enabled. I just cant see to see what features need to be enabled in the config.
Regards
Steve
