It turns out the ralink driver for my wifi card has changed in kernels = than 2.6.24 so that was another pain. I'm now taking the extended downtime as an opportunity to build a new box (last one was an athlon 1.2Ghz on a troublesome via chipset mobo).

[Freevo-users] Help with ivtv firmware issue
Hi, I did a distro upgrade on my freevo box on Saturday and I've got a couple of problems with my wireless and more problematic my ivtv firmware. I've changed back to the old kernel I was running which solved the wireless issue. The ivtv card works, I get video, but suffers audio muting. Some channels are permenantly muted, some mute and unmute randomly. Google comes up with quite a few instances of this and it's usually driver/firmware related and ivtvctl --log-status --device=/dev/video0 confirms the audio signal detection is lost and the card muted. My problem is that as mentioned I've downgraded the kernel but still have the same problems. Looking back through /var/log/messages shows that I'm using the same firmware but now there's a message that it's a different encoder revision: 0x02060039 and that this may be buggy. I've posted below two outputs from ivtv's logging from before the upgrade and after. The one after showing the different encoder version and a warning that it might be buggy. Thing is as far as I can tell I'm running the same drivers and firmware and I've done a cold boot as per the ivtv troubleshooting page but I can't resolve it. Anyone have any idea how I can get back to the right encoder revision? 122126 Jun 20 22:57:29 freevo kernel: ivtv: START INIT IVTV 122127 Jun 20 22:57:29 freevo kernel: ivtv: version 0.7.0 (tagged release) loading 122128 Jun 20 22:57:29 freevo kernel: ivtv: Linux version: 2.6.17-17mdv SMP mod_unload 686 gcc-4.1 122129 Jun 20 22:57:29 freevo kernel: ivtv: In case of problems please include the debug info between 122130 Jun 20 22:57:29 freevo kernel: ivtv: the START INIT IVTV and END INIT IVTV lines, along with 122131 Jun 20 22:57:29 freevo kernel: ivtv: any module options, when mailing the ivtv-users mailinglist. 122132 Jun 20 22:57:29 freevo kernel: ivtv0: Autodetected Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 card (cx23416 based) 122133 Jun 20 22:57:29 freevo kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt :00:0a.0[A] - Link [LNKB] - GSI 10 (level, low) - IRQ 10 122134 Jun 20 22:57:29 freevo kernel: ivtv0: Unreasonably low latency timer, setting to 64 (was 32) 122135 Jun 20 22:57:29 freevo kernel: tveeprom 3-0050: The eeprom says no radio is present, but the tuner type 122136 Jun 20 22:57:29 freevo kernel: tveeprom 3-0050: indicates otherwise.

Known problem with ivtv drivers, 0.7.0 is just one of the bad versions. I think that this has been fixed in kernel 2.6.24 and higher (maybe earlier too) So the real problem is what type of drivers are you using for the wireless card, madwifi? Duncan 2.6.24 is working fine with my new install and the ivtv driver so I agree with Duncan - leave ivtv alone and attack the wireless card problem - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
