Does anyone have any idea where I can get firmware for my Air2PC card?

According to the bbti page the firmware is on linuxtv.org.  *WRONG*

According to 
http://www.rsmas.miami.edu/personal/angel/mythtv/air2pc-howto.html you 
can compile it with dvb-kernel.  *WRONG*

So far I have looked and all I can find in refernce to the firmware 
(other then dmesg complaining over and over) is the patch to the dvb 
source under bcm3510.c:

However it does not compile this firmware nor is it downloadable from 
the site.
