Opening a new bug as requested by bug 245813 comment 2 The kernel expects the firmware for dib3000mb based devices to be named dvb-usb-dibusb-5.0.0.11.fw but media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-firmware names it dvb-dibusb-5.0.0.11.fw instead. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. DVB_CARDS="dibusb-usb1" emerge media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-firmware 2. Connect a dib3000mb USB DVB-T device (in my case, Twinhan DTV MagicBox) Actual Results: from dmesg: --- [ 9573.461425] dvb-usb: found a 'TwinhanDTV USB-Ter USB1.1 / Magic Box I / HAMA USB1.1 DVB-T device' in cold state, will try to load a firmware [ 9573.461434] usb 1-4.2: firmware: requesting dvb-usb-dibusb-5.0.0.11.fw [ 9573.489740] dvb-usb: did not find the firmware file. (dvb-usb-dibusb-5.0.0.11.fw) Please see linux/Documentation/dvb/ for more details on firmware-problems. (-2) [ 9573.489768] dvb_usb_dibusb_mb: probe of 1-4.2:1.0 failed with error -22 --- # qlist linuxtv-dvb-firmware /lib/firmware/dvb-dibusb-5.0.0.11.fw Expected Results: Name firmware file correctly. In bug 245813 comment 1 it was claimed that the ebuild to bug 275667 (which was since committed to the tree) fixes this issue, however it contains use dvb_cards_dibusb-usb1 && mv dvb-usb-dibusb-5.0.0.11.fw dvb-dibusb-5.0.0.11.fw which introduced this problem in the first place.
Created attachment 203645 [details, diff] linuxtv-dvb-firmware-2009.07.06-r2.ebuild.diff diff to updated ebuild
Thanks for the report. I just committed the fix to the linuxtv-dvb-firmware-2009.07.06-r1.ebuild.
