That's "official". I think it is not wanted to linuxtv.org because there
is same as almost every firmware - it does not have any license. It is
just extracted out from Windows driver (actually from USB-sniff). I
think some distributions will package & deliver this kind of firmwares,
though.

Driver is in 2.6.28, with dual mode disabled & broken. I am not sure
whether those fixes are coming to 2.6.29 or 2.6.30, I doubt later Kernel.
