Package: kernel-source-2.6.10
Version: 2.6.10-3
Severity: wishlist

I recently tried to use kernel 2.6.10 with my avermedia DVB-T card. I
had trouble operating the card as the firmware which  had previously
installed in the correct directory was not found by the sp887x module.

Reading the included perl script to fetch and install the firmware, I
discovered the filename has been changed. This could have been
documented in the avermedia.txt file. I believe this document patch
may help others, as the avermedia DVB-T card now works with a default
kernel, once the firmware is placed in the correct location.

upstream changed the script and the location for the firmware
as in /lib/firmware, thus this patch seems obsolete now.

thanks anyway,
closing bug report.
