I don't think this card needs a firmware. You just enabled to much dvb |
15 |
related stuff in your kernel configuration which results in the |
16 |
creation of this folder. I need the av7110 stuff here for my FF DVB-S |
17 |
card. |
18 |
|
19 |
What problem do you have with this card, normally dmesg should spit |
20 |
something out if there is firmware missing. |

I think the functionality from hot- and coldplug is now provided by |
55 |
udev thus the blocker. |
