I have a MSI DigiVox Duo with that chip and I needed to download an<br>
alternative firmware to get it working in Ubuntu on my laptop in the<br>
past. The firmware in the linux-firmware package was too old.<br>
<br>
Recently I connected it to my backend since it was not used most of the<br>
time. It worked out of the box. I just double checked it,<br>
dvb-usb-af9015.fw is included in the package linux-firmware-nonfree v1.8<br>
which is in the multiverse repository.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>i also forgot to mention that i have the dvb-usb-af9015.fw firmware, 4.95.0 from <a href="http://www.otit.fi/~crope/v4l-dvb/af9015/af9015_firmware_cutter/firmware_files/">http://www.otit.fi/~crope/v4l-dvb/af9015/af9015_firmware_cutter/firmware_files/</a>, and is placed in /lib/firmware. (should it be in lib64/firmware instead/aswell, or somewhere else?) the datestamp of the 4.95.0 (2007) does imply the patch i've found is not included (patch seems to be around 2010 era)<br>
