I can't load the firmware on my Hauppauge Nova-T cards under Gentoo 2005, using Gentoo-De ebuilds.
This is weird as I have used these cards successfully under Fedora core 3 with no problems.

It looks like the firmware format has changed or something like that. Try using the dvb-fe-tda10045.fw from dvb-kernel CVS.
Recently there was a change in the tda1004x-frontend-driver, which seems to prevent the firmware-loading for the tda10045. Hartmut Hackman provided a patch, which is not in CVS yet, because it's untested
http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2005-May/002135.html and the following.
I don't know if Gentoo uses daily CVS. If they do, the patch should fix it.
If it solves the problem, please CC the linux-dvb mailing list, too.
HTH, Patrick.
