cat /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent gives ... # directories with the firmware files FIRMWARE_DIRS="/lib/firmware /usr/local/lib/firmware /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware /lib/modules" ... So, /lib/firmware *and* /lib/modules should be valid, as should the other two. Also, I neglected to mention earlier that I already tried three of those four that, in that /lib/modules has all seven files: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ls -al /lib/modules total 1248 drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Dec 2 13:13 . drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Oct 18 21:47 .. drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Dec 2 13:49 2.6.13.2-chw-3 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 14264 Sep 13 01:42 HcwMakoA.ROM drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 20 2004 extra -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 262144 Nov 28 00:16 ivtv-fw-dec.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 262144 Nov 28 00:16 ivtv-fw-enc.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 155648 Oct 9 18:53 ivtv_init_mpeg.bin drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 22 05:25 misc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 262144 Dec 2 13:13 v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 262144 Dec 2 13:13 v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw -r--r--r-- 1 root root 14264 Dec 2 13:13 v4l-cx25840.fw and /lib/firmware and /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware have all six except for HcwMako.ROM. For completeness, I just added HcwMakoA.ROM to the last two, then add all seven files to the final directory of the four listed that I haven't tried, which I had to create: /usr/local/lib/firmware Hmmm...I just noticed that the firmware.agent I have in KnoppMyth R5A26 uses a slightly different variable than the wiki: "FIRMWARE_DIRS" but the example given in the wiki uses: "FIRMWARE_DIR" which is singular vs. the plural of the above. So, I added the following in firmwrae.agent, above FIRMWARE_DIRS: FIRMWARE_DIR = "/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware" And rebooted. To recap: I have all seven files in all four directories listed in FIRMWARE_DIRS. I added a new line FIRMWARE_DIR pointing to just one of the directories. And I still see the problem with the firmware not loading. -brendan _______________________________________________ ivtv-devel mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-devel
