Thanks for the suggestions. I couldn't wait to try it. I did the following, the firmware still cannot be opened A) I removed the symlinks and made a copy of the file cp ./ivtv-fw-enc.bin ./v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw cp ./ivtv-fw-dec.bin ./v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw
B) Restarted IVTV modprobe -r ivtv modprobe -r tveeprom depmod -ae modprobe ivtv modprobe tveeprom Still cannot open the firmware C) Copied the files cp /lib/firmware/* /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware* B) Restarted IVTV Result : still cannot open the firmware D) Reboot + start IVTV Result : still cannot open the firmware ziggy:/# find -iname v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw /lib/firmware/v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw /lib/modules/v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw ziggy:/# find -iname v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw /lib/firmware/v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw /lib/modules/v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw ziggy:/lib/firmware# md5sum v4l* 305dba74bbe5905447add8883f3ecb68 v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw d85cb08382395390dc95ac6ebc2205f9 v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw E) Removed the v4* files in /lib/firmware/ and in /lib/modules B) Restarted, no results F) apt-get install hotplug B) restarted IVTV, no results P.s. /etc/hotplug.d/pci# Does not ccontain any files. But the log mentions Dec 28 17:52:37 ziggy kernel: cpci_hotplug: CompactPCI Hot Plug Core version: 0.2 Dec 28 17:52:37 ziggy kernel: pci_hotplug: PCI Hot Plug PCI Core version: 0.5 G) changed the file permissions -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 262144 Dec 31 07:02 v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 262144 Dec 31 07:02 v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw Still no results Any suggestions?

I put them in /lib/firmware/ _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
