I will look into this. Imho there is a better way if you want to avoid hotplug. I'm using this insmod.sh fragment to load the firmware: | ... | # note: dvb-ttpci must be loaded in the background! | insmod ./dvb-ttpci.ko & | | # note: DEVDIR must be adjusted for the pci address of the FF card | DEVDIR=/sys/class/firmware/0000\:00\:0c.0 | | echo 1 > $DEVDIR/loading | cat /home/endriss/firmware/dvb-ttpci-test.fw-2622 > $DEVDIR/data | echo 0 > $DEVDIR/loading | ... Very convenient if you want to test several firmware versions.
