[mythtv-users] Hauppauge 1950 and Ubuntu 10.04- Not creating /dev/video0

[Nicholas Oleksinski]

Hi:
Long story short I'm trying to run mythtv in Linux to control my new
WinTV-HVR 1950 USB.  This is my starting point:

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Hauppauge_WinTV_HVR-1950_USB

I am trying to follow the instructions here (referred by above wiki) to
get the drivers installed and running:

I know the post is from Feb '09 but it's actually been next to
impossible for me to find any recent step-by-step instructions or advice
through Google.

Anyway, I tried installing the .fw files both from the CD and from the
latest zip file on Hauppauge's website.  Both methods produce the
following errors in dmesg:

[   23.212165] usb 1-3: firmware: requesting v4l-pvrusb2-73xxx-01.fw
[   23.224122] input: HDA Digital PCBeep
as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:05.0/input/input5
[   23.233624] pvrusb2: wrong fx2 firmware size
[   23.233634] pvrusb2: Failure uploading firmware1
[   23.233637] pvrusb2: Device initialization was not successful.
[   23.233639] pvrusb2: ***WARNING*** pvrusb2 device hardware appears to
be jammed and I can't clear it.
[   23.233642] pvrusb2: You might need to power cycle the pvrusb2 device
in order to recover.

Right now I'm assuming this is why I cannot see /dev/video*.
Has anyone else out there been through this?
My kernel version is 2.6.32-28.

Thanks!
