[linux-dvb] tda1004x firmware problems

[Xavier Santana <xsantana@slash-solutions.com>]

Hi all again,

I thought my Hauppauge WinTV Nova-t was working ok after solving some 
problems, but it started doing silly things when loading tda1004x 
module. As said on firmware.txt from the kernel documentation ...

===================================================================
	- tda1004x: firmware is loaded from path specified in
	                DVB_TDA1004X_FIRMWARE_FILE kernel config
	                variable (default 
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/tda1004x.bin); the
	                firmware binary must be extracted from the 	windows driver
===================================================================

... I got 'ttlcdacc.dll' from windows installation and renamed it to 
tda1004x.bin and copied it to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/

It seemed to work, but now sometimes it gets loaded ok when doing 
'modprobe tda1004x' and sometimes it doesn't get loaded (no tda1004x 
messages in dmesg at all).

Do you know if there's something wrong in this process or maybe my card 
is not working ok?

Thanks in advance,

Xavier
