Just a note aside of that it is not recommended to use any non
manufacturer certified driver.
The linux driver will decrease the lifetime of nearly any em28xx based
device or damage it permanently (as seen with the ATSC devices
recently). This is more or less the outcome of static reverse
engineered values from the windows driver which are not correct for
all devices and device modes. Although the GPL takes over that no
involved developer has any responsibility.
