@Anders:

We don't have any mechanism in place for backports of the dvb drivers.
Due to the nature of the issue, it unfortunately would not be high on
our priority list of things to do in the kernel team either.

I suggest you do one of the following, depending on your interest and
skill level:

1. Compile the newer module yourself manually
2. Create a dkms package to build the module automatically whenever the kernel changes
3. Modify the lucid backport modules package to include dvb drivers

If you do 2 or 3 you can publish it in your personal package archive for
others. If you do 3, we may be able to look at importing it into the
Ubuntu l-b-m package. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm sorry I
can't help much about this at this late stage (if this were known a
month or two ago we could have looked at backporting directly into the
lucid kernel).

Thanks

The firmware that comes for af9015 is not the latest version and it has an issue that blasts dmesg with this two error messages:

The latest firmware version 0.95 solves this issue:
