Hey antti, list,
whilst trying to help some Asus U3100+ users with the recent patches I
ran into an issue. For some strange reason his chip_id was 0xff. I'd
hope this is somehow supplied by the firmware. I think I had the exact
same issue until I used Antti's latest firmware for the AF9035.
Having said that, I know antti currently hosts the latest firmware for
the af9035, but there seem to be several out in the wild and people
googling for the firmware tend to find the really old one.
I'm pretty certain that Afa-tech, IT-tech etc won't allow the firmware
to live in the kernel, or simply refuse to answer shuch a plead? They
could be persuaded by the maintainer to at least have it live in
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git or
if that fails, have it pulled by Documentation/dvb/get_dvb_firmware?
(Btw, why is it get_dvb_firmware? I didn't find a generic script or
other devices that did the same).
I'll update the af9035 wikipage to link to antti's firmware for now.
Oliver
