[Bug 318448] Re: Unable to view digital broadcasts with em28xx

[Andreas Modinos]

Can't be a duplicate of bug 278656 because having the firmware present
does not solve the problem.

I am reconfirming this bug on Lucid Beta 1. The card is properly
detected and the firmware is loaded, but the files
'/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0' are still
not present.

Any and all DVB utilities out there seem to want them there, so as it stands the device I have to test --
2040:6502 Hauppauge WinTV HVR-900
-- is still useless.

jbourdon's trick was for Ubuntu 8.10 so I wonder what it would take to
get that magic back for Lucid?

linux-firmware-nonfree version 1.7, kernel 2.6.32-18-generic
