Hi,

It's supported by the userspace drivers, and AFAIK nothing else. The official 
installation instructions are at 
http://mcentral.de/wiki/index.php5/Installation_Guide but I'd recommend against 
following them literally, since unless you know what you're doing you could 
seriously break your system, and they'll only work right on Debian/Ubuntu. (In 
particular, I suggest you skip the "sudo rm -r -f /usr/src/*" and change the 
"sudo rm -r -f /lib/modules/*" to "sudo rm -r -f 
/lib/modules/*/kernel/drivers/media".) You don't need any external firmware; 
it's all included.

(The comments in the driver say it has an xc5000 tuner, which is rather unusual 
since this is more aimed for DVB-C devices IIRC. It might be possible to write 
a fully in-kernel driver for it - there is an xc5000 driver, though I'm not 
sure if analog works on it - but no-one has yet.)
