I downloaded that file and rebooted and dmesg griped about another file and I found it and downloaded it and rebooted and now my output looks like this, which I'm happy with: michael@carter ~ $ dmesg | grep -i 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: Binding ir_rx_z8f0811_haup to i2c address 0x71. pvrusb2: Binding ir_tx_z8f0811_haup to i2c address 0x70. cx25840 2-0044: cx25843-24 found @ 0x88 (pvrusb2_a) pvrusb2: Attached sub-driver cx25840 pvrusb2: Attached sub-driver tuner pvrusb2: Supported video standard(s) reported available in hardware: PAL-M/N/Nc;NTSC-M/Mj/Mk;ATSC-8VSB/16VSB pvrusb2: Mapping standards mask=0x300b700 (PAL-M/N/Nc;NTSC-M/Mj/Mk;ATSC-8VSB/16VSB) pvrusb2: Setting up 6 unique standard(s) pvrusb2: Set up standard idx=0 name=PAL-M pvrusb2: Set up standard idx=1 name=PAL-N pvrusb2: Set up standard idx=2 name=PAL-Nc pvrusb2: Set up standard idx=3 name=NTSC-M pvrusb2: Set up standard idx=4 name=NTSC-Mj pvrusb2: Set up standard idx=5 name=NTSC-Mk pvrusb2: Initial video standard (determined by device type): NTSC-M pvrusb2: Device initialization completed successfully. pvrusb2: registered device video0 [mpeg] DVB: registering new adapter (pvrusb2-dvb) Speaking of which, isn't there an easier way to reload modules than rebooting? When I started using Gentoo in 2004, there was an /etc/init.d/hotplug, which was replaced by /etc/init.d/coldplug, but neither one seems to be present anymore on the system. What service loads modules on bootup now?
