Making it Work

First place the firmware file (see below) in the correct location and reboot. Then the easiest method is to use Kaffeine to scan for channels.

Firmware

A firmware file has to be downloaded and copied to /lib/firmware [1] [2]

Drivers name is em28xx/em2884

Sample Kernel Output

Provide the relevant portion of dmesg here. For example:

# dmesg
[   45.569669] em28xx: driver (Information to be completed on this page)
