Bug Description
Short: This is a request to get the TDA18218 patched compiled into the Ubuntu Linux kernel.
Long:
I have a DVB-T USB stick with an af9015 chip, and a TDA18218 tuner. The TDA18218 is not recognized. This is a well known problem. The relevant message in /var/log/messages is:
af9015: tuner id:179 not supported, please report!
For some months, there is a patch to make the tda18218 work. I've created an (ugly, as I had to remove firedtv stuff) script to make it work. See http://
So: can the TDA18218 stuff be included into the standard Ubuntu kernel?

PS:
Best to run the script with sudo.
Running the script (Compiling) takes 10 - 40 minutes, depending on the speed of your machine
I will post the /var/log/messages with the corrert drivers in place (ie after running my script)
