Hi, in case it is of any use: I turned on debugging in the hotblug sybsystem and get the following information: Jun 16 18:29:37 localhost kernel: drivers/media/dvb/dibusb/dvb-dibusb.c: found a 'TwinhanDTV USB1.1 / Magic Box / HAMA USB1.1 DVB-T device' in cold state, will try to load a firmware Jun 16 18:29:37 localhost default.hotplug[11067]: arguments (usb) env (SUBSYSTEM=usb OLDPWD=/ DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb1/1-1 PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin ACTION=add PWD=/etc/hotplug UDEV_LOG=1 MANAGED_EVENT=1 SHLVL=1 HOME=/ PHYSDEVDRIVER=usb DEBUG=yes PHYSDEVBUS=usb SEQNUM=1531 _=/usr/bin/env) Jun 16 18:29:37 localhost default.hotplug[11067]: invoke /etc/hotplug/usb.agent () Jun 16 18:29:47 localhost default.hotplug[11087]: arguments (firmware) env (PHYSDEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb1/1-1 SUBSYSTEM=firmware OLDPWD=/ DEVPATH=/class/firmware/1-1 FIRMWARE=dvb-dibusb-5.0.0.11.fw PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin ACTION=remove PWD=/etc/hotplug UDEV_LOG=1 MANAGED_EVENT=1 SHLVL=1 HOME=/ PHYSDEVDRIVER=usb DEBUG=yes PHYSDEVBUS=usb SEQNUM=1534 _=/usr/bin/env) Jun 16 18:29:47 localhost default.hotplug[11087]: invoke /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent () Jun 16 18:29:47 localhost kernel: drivers/media/dvb/dibusb/dvb-dibusb.c: did not find a valid firmware file.
