I am using debian SID (sidux) and the actual kernel there (2.6.26-5.slh.4-sidux-686) from some days ago still does not include the rtl2831u dvb-t driver. So, I wonder now what the next steps are to make this driver available in the linux kernel, and when it will probably happen. > > Background of my question is that I would like to use the stick of course, but without patching and compiling a new kernel from source by myself. > > So, what is the future plan of rtl2831u for kernel integration? I am not familiar with the standard procedure of the diffusion process into mainstream kernel versions, so I would appreciate any comments on this topic. This has been on and off the mailing list since Jan. I gather the tree has some significant merge issues, that's probably why it hasn't been merged. Generally if the drivers are legally clean, code clean they get merged in a couple of weeks. - Steve _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
