Hi Andrej,
here you can find an updated version of the af9035 patch:

http://openpli.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=openpli/openembedded;a=blob_plain;f=recipes/linux/linux-etxx00/dvb-usb-af9035.patch;hb=HEAD

There are several improvements, including support for newer kernels (3.2
and 3.3) as well as the current media_build tree.
I also added the missing "select" directives for the tda18218 and
mxl5007T tuners, so the modules auto-loads correctly now.

In this version there is no remote support.

Please let me know if it works fine for you.

Regards,
Gianluca
