[Mageia-discuss] Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250

[Gary Montalbine]

I was using ML2010.2. I did a clean install of mageia 1. My security 
camera does not work. It is critical.

I posted in the forum and as a bug. However I thought I would ask the 
experts here. Sorry for all the postings. I am in critical need of my 
security camera.

Dmesg:

ivtv0: Did you put the firmware in the hotplug firmware directory?

I have no idea where the hotplug firmware directory is located. A file 
search did not locate it. I have the v4l- firmware file. It is not in 
the right place obviously. The IVTV site was no help.

Help would be greatly appreciated.
