Now I have the right firmware file and double-checked the md5sum.

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. > Also be aware that this card is very sensitive on its aeriel input under > linux, so if you have amplifier on your aeriel > it will saturate the input, the solution I found was to use a passive Y > spiltter to reduce the gain. Thanks for this information.
