Hmm, I used the latest Debian kernel available in unstable and
experimental, so I used the stock kernel. If this is to old I cant really
 help this and have to wait until Debian releases a new kernel. There is
no residue in my current kernel of any em28xx code its a complete clean
stock Debian kernel.

I don't know about the age of the firmware, but I believe its extracted
from the kernel code it tells me:
[ 4689.481452] dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-af9015.fw'
[ 4689.975618] af9013: firmware version:4.65.0

Ignore the em28xx devices they have proprietary code, and is not
mainstream developed, no use wasting energy on that. Been there, done that.

What is your kernel and firmware version? Is there a way to easily add a
newer firmware file without recompilation?

Best regards,

Jelle
