yes, picostick needs external drivers:


The openee project has a recipe patch for the v4l tree:

Code:
svn checkout http://openee.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ openee
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb 
cp openee/recipes/v4l-dvb/files/v4l-dvb-as102.patch  v4l-dvb/v4l-dvb-as102.patch
cd v4l-dvb
patch -p1 -i v4l-dvb-as102.patch
Now you have a v4l tree that you can install on ubuntu that has Pictostick support.
After that the only thing you need to do is copy the firmware that is in the openee code, and the picostick works on ubuntu.

I tried similar steps on maemo, but there were errors, don't know the specifics anymore.
