Title:
  Firmware af9005.fw not available in Ubuntu

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

Bug description:
  Some DVB-T USB sticks such as the Terratec Cinergy T USB XE need the
  firmware af9005.fw to run. This firmware is available, but not
  provided with Ubuntu.

  The firmware is available e.g. at this site:
  http://ventoso.org/luca/af9005/ . It should be part of Ubuntu.  In
  case it is proprietary it should at least be made available via the
  hardware-drivers manager (jockey-kde or jockey-gtk).

  I used the stick mentioned above on Kubuntu-Hardy desktop, Ubuntu-
  Intrepid laptop, and Ubuntu-Intrepid netbook (Acer Aspire One)
  successfully. Among the two firmware files available for download, the
  second one (http://ventoso.org/luca/af9005/af9005.fw-6.11.23.01) is
  preferred; it works as good or better as the first
  (http://ventoso.org/luca/af9005/af9005.fw) in my settings.
