Sorry.  Of course the driver works fine in the latest upstream kernel.
Somebody else provided a patch.

Just apply the patch.  Its not that hard.

>  The Kworld UB435-Q (an inexpensive USB ATSC/QAM TV tuner, USB id 1b80:a340), is not supported in Ubuntu 10.04, or the kernel.org 2.6.32 that it is based upon.  Support for this tuner was recently added to the Linux DVB sources.  Please cherry pick these commits so that this tuner will work in 10.04:
