Public bug reported: Some DVB-T USB sticks such as the Terratec Cinergy T USB XE need the firmware af9005.fw to run. This firmware is available, but not provided with Ubuntu.
The firmware is available e.g. at this site: http://ventoso.org/luca/af9005/ . It should be part of Ubuntu. In case it is proprietary it should at least be made available via the hardware- drivers manager (jockey-kde or jockey-gtk). I used the stick mentioned above on Kubuntu-Hardy desktop, Ubuntu- Intrepid laptop, and Ubuntu-Intrepid netbook (Acer Aspire One) successfully. Among the two firmware files available for download, the second one (http://ventoso.org/luca/af9005/af9005.fw-6.11.23.01) is preferred; it works as good or better as the first (http://ventoso.org/luca/af9005/af9005.fw) in my settings. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Firmware af9005.fw not available in Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295988 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
