Comment 8 for bug 279143

Quote from Devin Heitmueller at em28xx mailing list:

"Just to be clear, Ubuntu 8.10 ships with the version of the em28xx
driver that is maintained by the linux-dvb project. It is not the
version maintained by mcentral.de. As a result, some devices will
work and others will not, as there are devices supported in the
Mcentral.de driver and not in the linux-dvb driver (and vice-versa).

The Xceive 3028 firmware is not shipped with Ubuntu because Xceive has
not approved its redistribution. Mrec's version of the driver has the
firmware embedded in the source code."
