I installed it as described in [1].

        # clone
        make
        sudo make install
        sudo make unload
        # insert stick again

Thanks for your work. Do I also need to update the firmware file?

Ok, I do not know how to test this objectively. Not knowing what how to
do this, I just insert the console output of Kaffeine while scanning for
channels. See the end of this message.

In summary I would they I did not see any difference in quality between
the two versions at a bad reception spot. I thought the signal bar
showed values increased by 2–4 %, so a little bit better.

I will test later at a better reception point.

Thanks for your work,

Paul

### Old Version 2.6.30.4, amd64 ###
