Public bug reported: Short: This is a request to get the TDA18218 patched compiled into the Ubuntu Linux kernel.
Long: I have a DVB-T USB stick with an af9015 chip, and a TDA18218 tuner. The TDA18218 is not recognized. This is a well known problem. The relevant message in /var/log/messages is: af9015: tuner id:179 not supported, please report! For some months, there is a patch to make the tda18218 work. I've created an (ugly, as I had to remove firedtv stuff) script to make it work. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9723087&postcount=133 and below. So: can the TDA18218 stuff be included into the standard Ubuntu kernel?
