ok its an avermedia 761c i load dvb_core, bttv, bt878,
dvb)bt8xx,sp887x (in that order)

under 2.6.8.1 it all loads fine and the firmware is loaded and
initialised, however the signal strength i get back is nill, and it
can only be used once before sp887x needs removing and adding again! I
assumed this was a bug issue so i used a newer kernel.

Main Problem:
i have 2.6.10-rc1 and on loading sp887x i get

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sp887x: waiting for firmware upload...
sp887x: no firmware upload (timeout or file not found?)
xxx detach
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

firmware is in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware and is named as
dvb-fe-sp887x.fw  & sc_main.mc, i checked the source and the first is
required.

Any ideas why it will not load it? I really wanna get this card
working, but am having no luck!

Thanx
Tom
