Isn't that a little short to type (or even copy & paste) the right 
commands ?

What's the problem exactly?
Did the upload time out because you didn't upload the firmware at all?
Or not quick enough?

I admit that the file is outdated wrt. the tda1004x -- I'll commit an 
update.

Short how-to:
- make sure sysfs is mounted
- modprobe tda1004x
- cd /sys/class/firmware/[some weird numbers]
- echo 1 > loading
- cat [firmware] > data
- echo 0 > loading

CU
Michael.
