The ivtv driver is great. I would like to say thanks to all of the contributors for the code. I have a question for the list though. While reviewing my system log I found the following warning from ivtv:
ivtv0 warning: Encoder Firmware can be buggy, use version 0x02040011 or 0x02050032.
I am using Fedora Core 4 with the IVTV packages from atrpms.net:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i ivtv

It seems I have the latest ivtv-firmware packages as per the listing at http://www.atrpms.net/dist/common/ivtv-firmware/. I believe I am sticking with the stable releases of these packages, so I would expect that the versions are tested together.
How do you recommend I deal with this warning?
As per the "Asking for help" page at http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Asking_for_help, I have pasted the dmesg output below:
