[linux-dvb] Re: strange firmware loading problem

[Bernhard Stark <bernhard_stark@24on.cc>]

thx for the hint, but this would be too easy, wouldn't it? ;-)
I've already put the firmware (dvb-ttpci-01.fw) in the following directories:
/lib/firmware
/lib/hotplug/firmware
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware

so this cannot be the problem. I'also tried to downgrade hotplug. No effect, 
same error:
--------

Another error message I found appears when I'm loading the cvs-driver:
(But everything is compiled "lege artis")
------------

What else could I try? It can't be that this card simply stopped working with 
my config. I also don't want to re-install my System (It would cost a week to 
configure everything again...) and I don't want to change harddisks everytime 
I want to watch TV.... 

Thanks, Ben
