Paul Everill,

First, if you believe there's a bug in some firmware and there's a
different version that can fix it, please open a new bug so we can track
it properly. Don't hesitate to open new bugs :). If you want, you can
open a new bug and reply to this comment there.

I read through your comment, but I'm not sure I understand how to fix
this issue. It seems none of the firmware available will make this card
work right. Until there's firmware that makes things work right for the
card, I think we should leave things as they are. Other cards may use
the same firmware file, and we don't want to introduce a regression for
them, especially when the change doesn't really fix another card. Also,
if this card is weird and requires its own special firmware version we
may not be able to accommodate it through the Ubuntu linux-firmware-
nonfree package since it needs to be hardware agnostic.

I hope I haven't missed the overall point of your comment.

Thanks

Status in “linux-firmware-nonfree” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released

Bug description:
Binary package hint: linux-firmware-nonfree

The firmware that comes for af9015 is not the latest version and it has an issue that blasts dmesg with this two error messages:
af9015: command failed:255
dvb-usb: error while querying for an remote control event.

The latest firmware version 0.95 solves this issue:
