Bug Description

I have a "Yakumo QuickStick DVB-T", a pen-sized DVB-T receiver. It works well under Linux, but you have to install a newer firmware file manually into "/lib/firmware/<kernel version/. The file is named "dvb-usb-wt220u-02.fw" and is availiable unter www.linuxtv.org, like all the other DVB-T firmware files.
It would be great if you could include the file in the next release of the corresponding package.

Direct LInk: http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-usb-wt220u-02.fw

Thank You.
Constantin.

This will be retargeted towards the Hardy kernel once it is released. I've tagged this as "hardy-kernel-candidate" so that we make sure to retarget this report once the new release is out. However against the linux-source-2.6.22 package this is being marked as "Won't Fix" as it does not meet the criteria for a stable release update. To learn more about the stable release update process please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates . Thanks!

Hardy Heron Alpha2 was recently released. It contains an updated version of the kernel. You can download and try the new Hardy Heron Alpha2 release from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/alpha-2/ . You should be able to then test the new kernel via the LiveCD. If you can, please verify if this bug still exists or not and report back your results. General information regarding the release can also be found here: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/alpha2 . Thanks!
