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).

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. > I ask because I'd like to write up a howto for myth and/or > ubuntu users, and want to cover all bases. regards Antti -- http://palosaari.fi/
