Hi, The weird thing is the following set of messages:
kernel: ivtv0: loaded v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw firmware (262144 bytes) kernel: ivtv0: loaded v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw firmware (262144 bytes) firmware_helper[13004]: Loading of /lib/firmware/v4l-cx2341x-enc.fw for ivtv driver failed: No such file or directory firmware_helper[13007]: Loading of /lib/firmware/v4l-cx2341x-dec.fw for ivtv driver failed: No such file or directory kernel: ivtv0: Encoder revision: 0x02050032 kernel: ivtv0: Decoder revision: 0x02020023 First is says it loaded the firmware, then it says the firmware_helper could not find the file and then it prints the versions of firmware that's loaded. Is there perhaps anything special that ivtv needs to do an a udev based system (or on a system with udev implemented in the way Fedora5 does it???) Looks like udev is trying to do something ivtv is already doing by itself, or am I misinterpreting stuff here?
