Hello, installing my Twinhan Magic Box Pro (Model No: VP-704A0) fails because no device in /dev/dvb is created. I followed the steps described in the Linuxtv DVB Wiki. The Wiki tells me that I need the drivers dvb-usb.ko, dvb-usb-vp7045.ko and the firmware dvb-usb-vp7045-01.fw. The drivers exist in my Debian Etch system with kernel 2.6.18-5-k7. So I just added both modules to /etc/modules. Additional I downloaded the firmware from http://linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-usb-vp7045-01.fw and copied it to /lib/firmware/ and to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/ to be sure udev will find the file. Loading the modules works fine: schawwi:~# dmesg | grep dvb usbcore: registered new driver dvb_usb_vp7045 syslog: Nov 22 22:00:39 localhost kernel: usbcore: registered new driver dvb_usb_vp7045 schawwi:/home/schawwi# lsmod | grep dvb dvb_usb_vp7045 8644 0 dvb_usb 18696 1 dvb_usb_vp7045 dvb_core 72552 1 dvb_usb dvb_pll 14596 1 dvb_usb i2c_core 20096 11 dvb_usb,dvb_pll,i2c_viapro,w83627hf,i2c_isa,i2c_dev,tuner,tvaudio,bttv,i2c_algo_bit,tveeprom firmware_class 10048 3 dvb_usb,bttv,prism54 usbcore 113412 11 dvb_usb_vp7045,dvb_usb,snd_usb_audio,snd_usb_lib,usblp,usbhid,ipaq,usbserial,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd Disconnecting and connecting the DVB-Box from and to USB causes the following lines in syslog: Nov 22 22:02:02 localhost kernel: usb 5-5: USB disconnect, address 6 Nov 22 22:02:05 localhost kernel: usb 5-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7 Nov 22 22:02:05 localhost kernel: usb 5-5: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice The problem is that no directory /dev/dvb/ is created. I think, that the firmware is not loaded correct. Is this possible? I searched for similar problems and I found reports of syslog where more information than "configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice" is given. For example the name of the box and loading of the firmware. Has anyone an idea what is wrong? In debian the hotplug package is not installed but the udev package. Is this correct? Thank's a lot!
