This device requires two different firmwares: xc3028 and drx-d firmwares. The
first one can be get via the extract_xc3028.pl script. The second one needs to
be extracted from some existing driver, since Micronas (the original
manufacturer) or Trident (the actual one) never allowed the firmware
distribution for Linux.

I'm working with Devin to teach get_dvb_firmware how to copy it from some 
driver.

Cheers,
Mauro
