Since the firmware is a new file and there hasn't been any testing by
the submitter, I'm going to just assume it's ok. We can fix it later if
there are issues, and there's no regression potential.

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
[ 8747.660939] smscore_set_device_mode: error -2 loading firmware: sms1xxx-hcw-55xxx-dvbt-02.fw, trying again with default firmware

[ 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!
