I found this file: http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/firmware/firmware.tar.gz (linked from http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Firmware#Obtaining_and_Installing_the_Firmware) which contains already-extracted firmware, and I copied it manually into /lib/firmware. It works, thank you very much! > On 7/21/06, Henrik Gammelmark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> John Drescher wrote: >>> Is that file (v4l-cx25840.fw) in /lib/firmware? >> It seems it is not, no.
