Title:
  Missing firmware for Siano-based DVB-T USB stick

Status in “linux-firmware-nonfree” package in Ubuntu:
  New

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

  This is more a request for support of a new device, than an actual
  bug:

  Inserting a Siano-based DVB-T stick (e.g.  Hauppauge Win-TV Aero)
  causes these messages in /var/log/messages:

  [595404.200647] usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8

  This posting on Ubuntuforums.org shows how support for this type of
  DVB-T device can be added using firmware from Hauppauge:

  The solution was verified to work with a Hauppauge Win-TV Aero DVB-T
  stick:

  [597359.571505] smsusb: probe of 1-3:1.0 failed with error -2
  [597397.384666] usb 1-3: USB disconnect, address 10

  [597407.184057] DVB: registering adapter 0 frontend 0 (Siano Mobile Digital MDTV Receiver)...

  If the firmware is added (with the name sms1xxx-hcw-55xxx-dvbt-02.fw) to the linux-firmware-nonfree package,
  then this type of device would be supported automatically.

  Thanks.
