[linux-dvb] Problems with tda1004x frontend

[Michael Lothian <s0095670@sms.ed.ac.uk>]

Hi

I'm having problems with the tda1004x frontend. I use gentoo. I'm using 
kernel 2.6.10-rc1-mm1 and udev

The firmware is in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware extracted using the program 
in the documentation. I chmod'd it to 777 just incase as well.

The /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent now has the correct entry for the 
firmware folder however I get the following errors with:

modprobe tda1004x debug=1
