[mythtv-users] DCR-2650 setup

I'm having some problems getting the DCR-2650 setup on MythDora
(Fedora 12).  It does not show up in mythtvsetup or have an ip
address.

In theory I've updated to .25 on MythDora ok.  I tried the .24 method
with the file:/ and extra lineup, but it still does not show up.

dmesg|grep 1-6

ifconfig -a

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0D:FE:7E:4C:D1
          BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

So, I created an ifcfg-eth1 file:

cat ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=192.168.2.2
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
TYPE=Ethernet
HWADDR=00:0D:FE:7E:4C:D1
IPV6INIT=no
USERCTL=no

I can ping the ip ok.

In mythtvsetup, I selected the HD Home Home Run and manually entered
the above ip and set tuner 1.  Is that correct?  Is there anything
else I am missing or can test with before I attempt to call
Cablevision?
