Hello. I recently purchased a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR external TV card. I'm trying to get it to work with Gentoo Linux. I think I've followed the steps found at http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV-HVR-1900 correctly, but I'm still getting errors. When I plug the TV card into the USB slot in the back of the computer and search dmesg, it says:
michael@carter /lib/firmware $ dmesg | grep pvrusb2 pvrusb2: Hardware description: WinTV HVR-1950 Model 751xx usbcore: registered new interface driver pvrusb2 pvrusb2: V4L in-tree version:Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2 MPEG2 Encoder/Tuner pvrusb2: Debug mask is 31 (0x1f) pvrusb2: ***WARNING*** Device fx2 controller firmware seems to be missing. pvrusb2: Did you install the pvrusb2 firmware files in their proper location? pvrusb2: request_firmware unable to locate fx2 controller file v4l-pvrusb2-73xxx-01.fw pvrusb2: Failure uploading firmware1 pvrusb2: Device initialization was not successful. pvrusb2: Giving up since device microcontroller firmware appears to be missing. pvrusb2: Device being rendered inoperable pvrusb2: Hardware description: WinTV HVR-1950 Model 751xx pvrusb2: ***WARNING*** Device fx2 controller firmware seems to be missing. pvrusb2: Did you install the pvrusb2 firmware files in their proper location? pvrusb2: request_firmware unable to locate fx2 controller file v4l-pvrusb2-73xxx-01.fw pvrusb2: Failure uploading firmware1 pvrusb2: Device initialization was not successful. pvrusb2: Giving up since device microcontroller firmware appears to be missing. I've emerged linuxtv-dvb-firmware and reissued the above command with no change. How do I get Gentoo to recognize this card? -Michael Sullivan-
