Update to 9.10 breaks Kaffeine support for Fuj:tech DVB-T

[thewk]

Updating from 9.04 to 9.10 made Fuj:tech DTV PRO DVB-T stick to not work. It worked flawlessly on 9.04 and now it seems that the whole stick is no being recognized. Kaffeine cannot scan channels anymore.

LSUSB command gives following:

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 15a4:9016
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

The first line appears when the stick is connected, at some level it is recognized, but it is unusable.

DMESG gives these lines:

[25107.876353] dvb-usb: error while querying for an remote control event.
[25108.028337] af9015: command failed:255

The firmware file /lib/firmware/dvb-usb-af9015.fw in linux-firmware-1.11 of jaunty seems a bit old (apparently v. 4.65.0). If this file is changed to v. 4.95.0 (as suggested by http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2009-June/032211.html) the looping error message 'af9015: command failed:255' with jaunty kernel 2.6.28-13-generic seems to go away. One place for the updated file is 'http://www.otit.fi/~crope/v4l-dvb/af9015/af9015_firmware_cutter/firmware_files/'.

Bit offtopic (maybe) but I am now using Xubuntu 9.04 instead. However, it displayed that same message, "error while querying..". I installed new firmware from the link you gave and I can confirm that the error message now longer appears.
