Hauppauge 2250 on Ubuntu 15.04

[Jeff Allen <worthspending@gmail.com>]

I am trying to get the firmware to load on a fresh install of Ubuntu 
15.04 desktop 64-bit on a new system.

I have tried for a few hours now.  Many combinations / suggestions from 
the documentation, forum posts, etc.  The most recent attempts were made 
with another fresh install of Ubuntu 15.04 and following the 
instructions at the following link: 
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-2250

Here is what I did on my last attempt after the fresh install.
