Kfir driver

[Hakan Lennestal <hakanl@cdt.luth.se>]

Hi again !

I got a couple of cards from BMK today.

I'm having some problems with the driver though.

Most things seem to work (?) and the module loads but
the mpeg-stream produced is just "black".
When replaying with mtv the time indication also jumps
randomly back and forth.

First, the firmware extraction is a lite bit mysterios.
I'm getting "Error 4" from cmicro (is this normal ?).

The windows driver I'm extracting from is kfir (not kfir2), win9x, 
KFirAppVersion4.23.

Make insmod looks like this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A short clip (~ 6 Mb) and the generated kfir_micro.h can be found under
http://ganymede.cdt.luth.se/tmp

I'm running kernel 2.4.0-test10 (and Mandrake 7.0).

Any help with this would be appreciated !

Regards.
