And more importantly, even later:

[   30.659513] si2168 7-0064: si2168: found a 'Silicon Labs Si2168' in cold state
[   30.660008] si2168 7-0064: si2168: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-demod-si2168-02.fw'
[   30.904514] si2168 7-0064: si2168: found a 'Silicon Labs Si2168' in warm state

Sounds to me like your kernel/system sees the device but doesn’t know what modules to load to drive it.

Otherwise, how long did you leave it plugged in for? Mine takes quite a while to get going…
