How do you find out the firnmware version? on loading the module I get the following in /var/log/message
Mar 17 11:46:32 NLRBIPTV5 kernel: cx25840: FW image '/lib/modules/HcwMakoA.ROM' of size 13883 loaded. Mar 17 11:46:32 NLRBIPTV5 kernel: cx25840: FW image md5 digest: a6f6a90a3be338cdb89d59e835798408 its a different md5sum to yours so its not the same... it doesn't appear to be on the firware page tho... I looked at the faq and it says i can get it off the cdrom that came with it... though it doesn;t seem to work as there is no pvr48xxx.exe on the cdrom Sorry if these questions are really stupid ones On Thu, 17 Mar 2005 16:39:16 +0100, Nick Rosier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Not really what I'm seeing.
