It has an AF9035B demodulator and uses an FCI2580 tuner. I've used the driver supplied by afa in the past, but haven't tested it in the last few months. I have a git repository for that driver at http://git.schinagl.nl/AF903x_SRC.git (it is also linked from http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Asus_U3100_Mini_plus_DVB-T). So when you say it is also coupled with the same tuner, that's not true :) With that driver there where a bunch of other tuners that are used with this chip. I think the Asus EEEPC supported a USB dvb tuner at some point and there are reverences in that code for it. As of the legality of the code, that is uncertain. The module (compiled from all these sources) is very specifically marked as GPL. Most headers/source files have no copyright notice at all, some however do, but no license in it. I asked about afa-tech and there driver status a while ago, but I guess there is no news as of yet? To summarize, I would love to test your driver, and I think i can code something up for my tuner, once these are split?
