CONFIG_FW_LOADER (Device Drivers -> Generic Driver Options -> Hotplug firmware loading support) Recompile your kernel with hotlug, or the alternative is to put the firmware in /lib/modules/, the location that ivtv looks when it doesn't have hotplug support. Only use /lib/modules/ if you really have a problem with hotplug, it's much nicer and support for hotplug won't be included in newer versions of ivtv. Regards, Ross hotplug tools, as opposed to hotplug kernel code, isn't in ubuntu dapper. He's using ubuntu breezy. dapper has 2.6.16 kernels and it would now be udev, not hotplug tools, for the hotplugging. The old hotplug dir might still be there but basically you could put the firmware anywhere and code the path into your /etc/udev/rules.d/00_ivtv script, for example, if mod/firmware wasn't loading when devices appeared. This is a udev issue and you could search their archive for ivtv to see what you can already count on there for ivtv devices. I think the firmware might ought to be in /lib/modules for udev not to have to worry about anything but device names and ivtv. Just a guess. _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
