Hi,
I did all the documented steps to install the driver, but i couldn't
get it running. dmes still says:
usbcore: registered new driver pvrusb2
/usr/src/pvrusb2-mci-20050921/driver/pvrusb2-main.c: Hauppauge
WinTV-PVR-USB2 MPEG2 Encoder/Tuner : 0.8-mci (21-Sep-2005)
/usr/src/pvrusb2-mci-20050921/driver/pvrusb2-main.c: Debug mask is

pvrusb2 pvr2_hdw_setup(hdw=cf475000) begin
pvrusb2 pvr2_upload_firmware1
pvrusb2 request_firmware failed for 'pvrusb2.f1'
pvrusb2 Failure uploading firmware1
pvrusb2 pvr2_hdw_setup(hdw=cf475000) done, ok=1 init_ok=0
pvrusb2 Device firmware (re)load executed; it should now reset and
reconnect.


Looks like the firmware failed to load. I copied already both images
pvrusb2.f1 and pvrusb2.f2 to the firmware directory in
/usr/share/firmware/

I am using a mandriva patched kernel:
[root at localhost driver]# uname -r
2.6.12-12mdk-i686-up-4GB


Cheers Jonas
