[linux-dvb] Freecom rev 4 14aa:0160

[Thomas Munro]

Hi

A couple have people have recently asked about the revision 4 Freecom USB
stick 14aa:0160.  The Windows CD that came with mine has a file called
RTL2831UUSB.sys, so I assume this is a RealTek RTL2831U chipset and this
matches what other people have said.  Yesterday on the linux-kernel mailing
list the following interesting message appeared:

> Anyway - here's the reason for my posting. I've got a kernel driver for

I hope this means that these devices will soon become useful :-)
