These webpages describe things to have alternative driver working - the one from www.mcentral.de . And by the way they are outdated since driver is developed and things change.
So better start with original Ubuntu 8.10 kernel (maybe reinstall it to be sure) and follow instructions on page describing how to use built-in driver. It's the page I've sent you in previous mail - http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Xceive_XC5000 On the bottom of this page you have instructions how to download and extract firmware for XC5000. It as simple as these 3 commands: wget http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/HVR-12x0-14x0-17x0_1_25_25271_WHQL.zip http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/extract.sh sh ./extract.sh sudo cp dvb-fe-xc5000-1.1.fw /lib/firmware After this reboot and insert your card into USB port. Everything should work. 2009/3/31 buzonn <[email protected]> > Hi Leszek, > sorry, I read your post after the mine. If em28xx and XC5000 are built-in > my card must work but doesn't work.
