MC44S803 driver still not merged?
Same goes here. This piece of hardware has actually been being sold with the new netbooks with linux which guarantees already a big userbase. I didn't know about the tuner and repo pointed out by Roberto but it seems imperative to support this hardware now that there is support for its ID in the mainstream kernel. If this is a matter of momentum then I add my voice to those pleading for this merge.
And again, I volunteer to test this driver/tuner.

That driver does not compile on 2.6.27 (but it works on 2.6.25). My hope was that 2.6.27 would have supported this hardware with no need for patches or external builds.
My question: will this driver be merged in a near future?

Question: was this driver submitted for inclusion into v4l-dvb? (if not, then you have to push on the other end)

Sorry but what do you mean the other end? And how can I do it?

The person(s) who wrote that out of tree driver.

If they haven't submitted it for inclusion, there's not much that can be done around here about it. So, by "pushing on the other end", I mean that you have to ask them to submit it for inclusion into v4l-dvb/kernel.
