The src. rpm rebuild process takes the firmware out of one of the exe
files and creates an rpm that you can use to install the fireware.
You might have to rename the exe file to what the rpm build process
expects. Or read the ivtv list archive to see how to manually extract
the firmware
That said - they really do use the same firmware. I have used both
cards with the same fireware and they both work fine.
So I really suspect that it is not the firmware that is causing your
problem.
