Hi, I am trying to get AverMedia AVerTV Volar Black HD (A850) usb dvb-t tuner running on mips32 little endian platform (to stream dvb-t from home router on LAN). I've cross compiled v4l-dvb mercurial sources (revision 11448:d4274bbb8605) and when plugging the tuner stick, I get following kernel oops log on serial console: dvb-usb: found a 'AverMedia AVerTV Volar Black HD (A850)' in cold state, will try to load a firmware usb 1-1: firmware: requesting dvb-usb-af9015.fw dvb-usb: downloading firmware from file 'dvb-usb-af9015.fw' dvb-usb: found a 'AverMedia AVerTV Volar Black HD (A850)' in warm state. dvb-usb: will use the device's hardware PID filter (table count: 32).
