-again, patches and comments are very very welcome
+TODO:
+- add some additional URBs for USB data transfer
+- due a firmware bug no write access destroys the USB mpeg transfers -> no
+ writes during streaming, stop streaming, when adding another pid
+
+2.1. Adding new devices
+
+It is not possible to determine the range of devices based on the DiBcom
+reference design. This is because the reference design of DiBcom can be sold
+to third persons, without telling DiBcom (so done with the Twinhan VP7041 and
+the HAMA device).
+
+When you think you have a device like this and the driver does not recognizes it,
+please send the ****load.inf and the ****cap.inf of the Windows driver to me.
+
+Sometimes the Vendor or Product ID is identical to the ones of Twinhan, even
+though it is not a Twinhan device (e.g. HAMA), then please send me the name
+of the device. I will add it to this list in order to make this clear to
+others.
+
+If you are familar with C you can also add the VID and PID of the device to
+the dvb-dibusb.[hc]-files and create a patch and send it over to me or to
+the linux-dvb mailing list, _after_ you have tried compiling and modprobing
+it.
