It turns out hotplug was trying to load the firmware from /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/tda1004x.fw, however the firmware was installed in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/tda1004x.bin, in accordance with the instructions in dvb-kernel/linux/Documentation/dvb/firmware.txt. Link them together and it (hotplug) works. Is this a hotplug, dvb-kernel, or documentation bug? What about the lousy error message? -- Member AFFS, WYLUG, SWP (UK), ANL, RESPECT, Leeds SA, Leeds Anti-war coalition No to software patents! No to DRM/EUCD - hands off our computers!
