[linux-dvb] Re: strange firmware loading problem

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

Hi all!!!

Problem solved!!!
I found out that the FIRMWARE-variable was empty!!!
I don't know why. Got the same kernel as most gentoo-users....
Just added
------------
export FIRMWARE="/lib/firmware/dvb-ttpci-01.fw"
export DEVDIR="/sys/class/firmware/0000\:00\:0d.0"
------------
to /etc/profile

and everything worked again as in good ol'days....

Thx to all,
Ben
