Subject: Isely Drivers in Ubuntu 9.10 with sudo apt-get install?

I have a Hewlett Packard HP 6730s lap top running Windows XP Pro and 
Ubuntu 9.10 in a dual boot arrangement. I also own a Hauppauge 1950
HVR USB tuner. Is it possible to install the Isley drivers in Myth TV and
Ubuntu 9.10 with a simple command like:

"sudo apt-get install isley"

  The text here below gives a recipe to upgrade to 2.6.35 and to patch the 
  cx25840 module for cropping support.

  The patches and firmwares are at http://picaros.org/pvrusb/<http://picaros.org/pvrusb/> .

  Linux-2.6.35
    If you intend to compile with a gcc before version 4.1 the patch 
    linuxgcc is required.  This patch just reorganizes a tiny bit of 
    code.  The patch cx25840-2.6.35 adds crop support.  
    
    config
    - relocateble kernel: off
    - media pvrusb2: on since this autoselects all the other modules
    - soft watchdog timer: on
    - enable sysrq: Alt+SysRq+B reboots the system
    make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install

  pvrusb2-mci-20100708
    The patch pvrusb2-mci-20100708x adds the crop calls to the v4l2 
    subdevices.  

    It also redefines the installation directory as
      INSTALL_MOD_DIR := kernel/drivers/media/video/pvrusb2
    so 'make install' will overwrite the kernel module.  

  Make sure that the current kernel remains bootable.  I use 3 images: 
  linux vmlinuz, old vmlinuz.old, keep vmlinuz.keep.  Hence the linux 
  'make install' only touches the first two.  

  All seems to be working well, except for 'rmmod pvrusb2' which hangs 
  forever.  If the cx25840 code works well for 525 systems then it might 
  perhaps be worthwile to take a chance with it on the linux-media 
  mailinglist.  

  -vdb.
