Driver is in kernel itself - all kernels from 2.6.25 have built-in driver for em28xx devices. I've struggled with Ubuntu 8.04 (kernel 2.6.24) with driver from www.mcentral.de and then I've realized that probably all I need is to migrate to Ubuntu 8.10 (kernel 2.6.27) or to newer kernel package at least. I've done very clean migration to Ubuntu 8.10 (automatic miration with update-manager) and my card works withount any additional steps with built-in driver from generic 2.6.27 kernel provided in Ubuntu. All I needed was to download XC3028 tuner firmware - there was message in dmesg about needed firmware.
BTW in Ubuntu 8.04 I had no firmware and my card worked (at least with kernel 2.6.24-11). But with built-in driver I need firmware. That's why I wrote you about need to download firmware. But if your card uses different tuner and doesn't need a firmware for it it's even better and easier to switch to built-in driver. But naturally you can do whatever you want. 2009/3/31 buzonn <[email protected]> > Hi Leszek, > > I think I don't need to find out a firmware but I need the driver. > > -- 2.6.24.12 won't boot with em28xx device https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204578 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
