Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20
I am the author of the dvb-usb-cxusb kernel module, which depends on the firmware image:
dvb-usb-
The firmware is available at:
http://
I have been given permission from DViCO to distribute this firmware. There is no limitation on WHO may distribute the firmware -- It is freely distributable, and okay to be packaged into distributions, and / or hosted on public servers for retrieval.
As of now, users that need this firmware have either been downloading it from the above location, or using the script located in the kernel source to retrieve it, issuing the following command:
linux/Documenta
I am pleased to see that other firmware images for dvb-usb device drivers are now being shipped in Feisty. It would be nice if the bluebird firmware image was shipped as well, so that users of these devices can agree that Ubuntu Just Works (tm) ;-)
Please contact me if there are any questions. Thank you.
