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 ** Summary changed: - Unable to view digital broadcasts with em28xx + [Hauppauge WinTV HVR-900][em28xx]Missing device files ** Tags added: em28xx i386 kernel-bug lucid verification-needed -- [Hauppauge WinTV HVR-900][em28xx]Missing device files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/318448 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
