Hi. I have been trying to get this working for a few weeks now, and need a little help.
I have tried a 2.4.24 and a 2.6.1 setup (both with EPIA-specific patches, if that matters), and with apppropriate patches from bytesex, the card seems to be recognised:
% dmesg

but tuning always fails:

When I unload and reload the frontend:
% dmesg
...
i2c_adapter i2c-1: sendbytes: error - bailout.

it complains about firmware. I have not found any relevant firmware on linuxtv.org or the web, so do I assume this is a bogus message?
Anyone know what might be happening here?
