Hi, Thanks for your help Patrick - I really apprecaite it. I did what you suggested; the directory identified is /lib/firmware so I put the file (dvb-usb-avertv-a800-02.fw) into that directory - is there anything else I need to do? When I plug the box into a USB interface I see a message pop up in /var/log/message (Jul 18 09:35:30 localhost kernel: usb 1-8: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5) but if I look for the device in /dev/ I still only have video0 - which is another video capture card. Is there any other log I should be looking at or do I need to load a module etc? Thanks very much, BKCH. -----Original Message----- From: linux-dvb-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:linux-dvb-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Patrick Boettcher Sent: Monday, 18 July 2005 2:47 AM To: linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [linux-dvb] re: AverMedia AVerTV DVB-T USB 2.0 driver Hi, On Sun, 17 Jul 2005, bhackney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > Hi, > > I'm probably going to get flamed for this first message but here goes > all the same, I've got an AverMedia AVerTV DVB-T USB 2.0 and I'm not > sure how to load the driver.

Have a look into your /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent for FIRMWARE_DIRS. In one of the mentioned pathes you have to put the firmware. When plugging in the box, it should be loaded automatically then. regards, Patrick. -- Mail: patrick.boettcher@xxxxxxx WWW: http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/ _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
