[Bug 622397] Re: USB DVB-T: TDA18218 not yet compiled in af9015

[Sander Jonkers]

FYI:

KMK_ECS has posted a method to get the AF9015 TDA18218 combo working on
Ubuntu 10.10. See

Half of the method is patching the Ubuntu Linux kernel with the git
repository. See the quote below. The other half of the method is creating an
installable kernel .deb.

If the files mentioned below from the git repository can be put into the
mainstream Ubuntu Linux kernel, I guess this bug is solved for all users.

So, what is needed to achieve this?

Download the following files and put them in the corresponding folders of
the original Maverick kernel source (You have to use the browser to navigate
to the different folders and then click on raw to download the file).
Overwrite the original files in the original kernel source if necessary. I
am sure there is a more convenient way of doing this, maybe someone knows
how? I might create a patch for the Maverick kernel if I find some time.
