Tommy,

Please test out the linux-firmware-nonfree package at
http://people.canonical.com/~cndougla/bugs/581238/linux-firmware-
nonfree_1.9_all.deb. After installation, the firmware for this device
should be present in /lib/firmware. Ensure that the hardware works
correctly with the packaged firmware file. If you currently have the
firmware file in /lib/firmware, please remove it before installing the
package.

Thanks

Status in “linux-firmware-nonfree” package in Ubuntu: In Progress

Bug description:
Binary package hint: linux-firmware

Hauppauge WinTV MiniStick does not work with Ubuntu 10.04 due to missing firmware file.

Relevant lsusb line:
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 2040:c000 Hauppauge

Relevant dmesg output:
[ 8747.520107] usb 1-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7
[ 8747.654106] usb 1-6: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 8747.655765] usb 1-6: firmware: requesting sms1xxx-hcw-55xxx-dvbt-02.fw

[ 8747.670098] smsusb_init_device: line: 383: smscore_start_device(...) failed

How To Fix:
$ wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/sms1xxx/sms1xxx-hcw-55xxx-dvbt-02.fw
$ sudo mv sms1xxx-hcw-55xxx-dvbt-02.fw /lib/firmware/

And then it works as expected when the MiniStick is inserted!
