The source of Steve's driver is from RealTek. More comments on origin can be found in the mxl5005s.[ch] files. There is some history in the list archives between Steve and Manu (and me indirectly) on the use of the mxl500x source module. > I wonder if perhaps the driver was ported from some other source and > nobody ever got around to getting the analog support working?

Steve said the QAM suffers a 3 dB hit compared to Manu's version (IIRC). I'd like a decent signal strength readout. If I had a data sheet from MaxLinear maybe I could do something. It still looks like details of external tracking filter hardware need to be known and tested for each particular board though.
