Well, what can I say... Now I have the right firmware file and
double-checked the md5sum. 

However, the error remains:

A 'scan de-Leipzig' still gives:

scanning de-Leipzig
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
main:1885: FATAL: FE_GET_INFO failed: 22 Invalid argument

But this time I discovered an additional error message in the dmesg
output when the scan attempt fails:

ioctl32(scan:5694): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(80a86f3d){00} arg(08050260) on
/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0

What does that mean?

There might be one thing that could be a problem. I'm using an AMD64
kernel but the userspace is all 32bit. This was no problem for any part
of the system till now, but I don't now whether it is one for the issue.

Thanks for this information.


Cheers,
