The latest cx18 driver in the v4l-dvb repo:

http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/

should have a *preliminary* entry in cx18-cards.c for this device:

static const struct cx18_card_pci_info cx18_pci_leadtek_pvr2100[] = {
{ PCI_DEVICE_ID_CX23418, CX18_PCI_ID_LEADTEK, 0x6f27 }, /* PVR2100 */
{ PCI_DEVICE_ID_CX23418, CX18_PCI_ID_LEADTEK, 0x6690 }, /* DVR3100 H */
{ 0, 0, 0 }
};

static const struct cx18_card cx18_card_leadtek_pvr2100 = {
.type = CX18_CARD_LEADTEK_PVR2100,
.name = "Leadtek WinFast PVR2100/DVR3100 H",
.comment = "Experimenters and photos needed for device to work well.\n"
"\tTo help, mail the ivtv-devel list (www.ivtvdriver.org).\n",
[...]

Basic instructions are here:

http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Cx18

But the XC3028 tuner chip is going to need an additional firmware file.
(I don't know the details of obtaining that offhand.)

Please test CVBS or SVideo in first.

I welcome any feedback, as I'm sure things are broken with it. GPIO
settings for controlling or resetting devices on the card, including the
analog tuner are probably not right. Nor will digital tuning be enabled
as I have no detail on the digital tuner and demodulator chips on the
card. (I did find a high resolution picture of one on the internet so I
can at least see the traces on one side of the card, but I could read
the chip names given the lighting.)

Regards,
Andy
