It would be really good if i also noticed that 3 firmwares with different file names and used by different drivers: - "v4l-cx23418-dig.fw" used by "cx18" driver, available here: http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/firmware/cx18-firmware.tar.gz and includes notice about distribution permission from Conexant too - "v4l-cx23885-avcore-01.fw" used by "cx23885" driver - "v4l-cx25840.fw" used by "cx25840" driver have exactly the same md5sum: b3704908fd058485f3ef136941b2e513 and actually are the same firmware. > we can test it with all devices, especially since distros will add it on their > firmware packages, as they are at the firmware -git > > > > Cheers, > Mauro > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in > the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
