If the above report comes from lsusb on your 3.6 kernel, then the linux
kernel probably has the proper driver for the device.

I note that, from the LinuxTV site
(http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Afatech_AF9015) some variations of the
driver need firmware, located in the /lib/firmware/<kernel-version>
directory. Note that the path to this directory contains the kernel version
number, which in your case has changed from 3.5 to 3.6. You might want to
investigate the contents of your older /lib/firmware/3.5* directories to
see if there is firmware for the dvb stick there, and copy it to
the /lib/firmware/3.6* directory.
