Maybe not, but they have been provided in linuxtv.org on the "until someone complains" (...why vendor would file a complaint on good availability of firmware for linux?) basis. All the files except dvb-fe-sp8870.fw and dvb-fe-nxt2004.fw are already provided in the download section or in the CVS. I'm just asking if they could all be placed in a same place. -- Anssi Hannula _______________________________________________ linux-dvb@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
