Making it work
Firmware
Firstly, you need to copy the following firmware dvb-usb-af9015.fw in your /lib/firmware/ directory, or in the directory where your system will search for it.
Drivers
It requires the dvb_usb_af9015 module, as well as dvb_usb, i2c_core, af9013 and mt2060 for tuning. The main dvb_usb_af9015 is not in the kernel before 2.6.25, so you MUST use the Mercurial way.
A quick way to do this is:
- install mercurial in your distro way
- run, in some user directory:
$ hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb $ cd v4l-dvb $ make menuconfig $ make # su - # cd /path/to/the/userdir/v4l-dvb # make install
See the How to Obtain, Build and Install V4L-DVB Device Drivers for all the details.
Once modules are compiled and installed, you can plug the stick. Run
# lsmod | grep af901
If your output is similar to
af9013 20932 1 dvb_usb_af9015 28032 0 dvb_usb 20428 1 dvb_usb_af9015 i2c_core 21656 5 mt2060,af9013,dvb_usb_af9015,dvb_usb
the card should work.
If not, try to load the modules manually
modprobe af9013 dvb_usb_af9015 mt2060
